Description:
Two women, living centuries apart, fighting for our country's freedom...and their own
In this evocative work of historical fiction, USA Today bestselling author Kelli Estes pairs two military women who-in the Civil War and Afghanistan-share determination, honor, and a call to serve the United States, no matter the cost.
Seattle, Washington- Larkin Bennett has always known her place, whether it's surrounded by her loving family in the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest or conducting a dusty patrol in Afghanistan. But all of that changed the day tragedy struck her unit and took away everything she held dear.
Soon after the disaster, Larkin discovers an unexpected treasure-the diary of Emily Wilson, a young woman who disguised herself as a man to fight for the Union in the Civil War. As Larkin struggles to heal, she finds herself drawn deeply into Emily's life and the secrets she kept.
Indiana, 1861- The only thing more dangerous to Emily Wilson than a rebel soldier is the risk of her own comrades in the Union Army discovering her secret. But, as the war marches on and takes its terrible toll, Emily begins to question everything she thought she was willing to risk her life for.
Historical fiction fans of Marie Benedict, Beatriz Williams, and Kate Quinn will be inspired by this story of two women in militaries, separated by centuries, but united in hope and dignity.
