It's such a peaceful February in the Rockies, no one realizes that hundreds are still dying as the Civil War rages on. Nothing could convince Charlene Peace, half Crow Indian, to leave her mountain home -- until handsome Boone Manwaring delivered his earth-shattering news. Charlene and Boone travel South toward Richmond, site of the heaviest fighting, and begin to understand the politics of war. As danger grows for Northerners in the South, they must decide if it's worth the risk to stay and fulfill their mission. -- provided by publisher.
