Will war bring them love or will they be Lost in the Storm!
Lavena, a journalist during the Civil War, wants to become a war correspondent. She finally gets her chance, but there's a catch. She has to get an interview from a war hero who has refused to tell his story to every other journalist, and she has to accomplish this impossible task in a month or she'll lose her job.
Captain Cage, the war hero, has a secret that will destroy his military career and reputation. Now, a new journalist is trying to get him to tell what he's been hiding. He wants to ignore her, but from the moment she came into camp, he can't get her out of his mind.
Leading up to the turbulent Battles for the city of Chattanooga, will Lavena and Cage find the courage to love and forgive, or will they be swept away by their past mistakes that don't want to stay buried?
Meet the Ladies of Oberlin, the causes they're willing to fight for, and the men who capture their hearts.

Secrets, regrets and forgiveness
By 1863 the civil war, after just two years, had claimed the lives of many men and sent equally as many or more home with catastrophic injuries. War correspondents were needed and yet Lavena was not considered because she was a woman. Finally allowed to prove herself, this outspoken, courageous young woman makes her way to join the Ohio Seventh Regiment. What follows are secrets, regrets and difficult choices. How can she possibly forgive those who have betrayed her trust or will she finally realize that no one, including herself, can live up to her expectations?
Captain Cage Jones, Chaplain Jed and Lieutenant Nate are wonderful heroes portrayed with great integrity, each striving to do their part under very trying circumstances. Will the truth of their stories hurt or help? Heroism is found in the most unexpected places, and war brings out some of the best of it.
The rich historical details brought me an even better understanding of what the war must have been like for those who were there - the grief at the loss of comrades, the horror of losing a limb in the hospital and especially the realization of the importance of forgiveness and a relationship with God.
An e-copy of this wonderful novel was received through Mt Zion Ridge Press and CelebrateLit. The impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.
