About this audiobook
Wild Swan, the horse farm Alexandria Falconer built up from nothing in the border state of Maryland, has been Alex's sanctuary through years of turmoil, and she has come of age in this land of opportunity. But the storm clouds of civil war are gathering, and Alex knows she has a choice to make to protect her family and maintain the precarious peace at Wild Swan.
When Alex's son dies tragically, she is shattered. It is only through caring for her adopted daughter, two-year-old Gincie, that Alex starts to overcome her grief and find comfort with her beloved husband Rane once more. But when Rane is called away to aid the Union war effort, she is left bereft.
Alex's heart is with Rane, but at home she has the sole responsibility of shielding Gincie and the rest of her family from the danger creeping ever closer to their door. When a charming soldier arrives at Wild Swan, Alex reluctantly gives him shelter, but the two form a bond and when news arrives of Gettysburg, she is torn with worry for men on both sides of the battlefield. With Gincie by her side, she undertakes a dangerous journey to fight for her family, her principles, and the man who holds her heart.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have read this series 10-15 times over the last 20-25 years. I was thrilled to have it be available as an audiobook.
I love the characters and the beautiful way everything is written. I find myself still smiling at the joys and my heart breaking as Alex goes through her life. Celeste is an amazing author and her character development and attention to detail makes these books spring to life and make you feel as though you are living through their lives with them
Thank you for putting them on audio book. I hope to see her other books on audio as well in the future
