    About this ebook

    Ethan is a Doughboy wounded in the battle for Belleau Wood. Davy is a reviled British conscientious objector serving in a military hospital. Two young men drawn to each other in the midst of the horrors of the Great War. Neither has a family, for the soldier's has all died and the CO's has cast him off in disgust for refusing to take up arms.

    The bond of love that grows between Ethan and Davy takes them to Ethan's beautiful Appalachian hills, where they build a home and make a life. It is there they find that their love is strong enough to conquer everything, even time and death.

    A new short story from our Candlelight literary romance line, from the author of the bestsellers SONG ON THE SAND, BURMA GIRL, MR. NEWBY'S REVENGE and THE LAWYER, THE GHOST AND THE CURSED CHAIR.
