But she is unprepared for the lingering bitterness that remains in the South and in her heart. Dale Covington used to be a wealthy landowner…before the war stole everything. Now he is dodging memories of a life lost. When he meets Charity, she reminds him of his physical and emotional wounds. But she may also mend his heart. As Charity and Dale both nurture the remnants of war, can they find a path to forgiveness?
