Promise and Honor (Promise & Honor) (Volume 1)

At the outbreak of the Civil War, Amanda Graham's husband dies a hero's death. Left with no source of income, she smuggles medical supplies for Lieutenant Colonel William Jackson and the Confederacy. Although a rogue, Wil is a man of courage and fiercely loyal to Amanda. Lieutenant Samuel Prescott, a soldier of honor and former comrade before the war, fights for the Union. As opposing forces move into Virginia, Sam clashes with Wil on more than the battlefield, when both men fall in love with Amanda. Torn by grief and loyalty, Amanda struggles with the harsh reality that her way of life has been altered forever by the growing storm. "The Civil War serves as more than a setting for this story; it is an integral part of the tale, carefully woven between the diverse men and women forced to make difficult decisions. For this reason, Promise & Honor refuses easy categorization. As Sam and Amanda struggle to overcome that which divides them, it is a love story, but there is so much more. The historical detail is fascinating. The pathos and danger are heartrendingly real. The forthright depiction of men and women in conflict, not only with each other but with themselves, is riveting.Kim Murphy is the author of 'Promise and Honor (Promise & Honor) (Volume 1)', published 2002 under ISBN 9780971679023 and ISBN 0971679029.
