About this ebook
It is autumn of 1775, the eve of the Revolution. Lord Jeffery Cambridge, nineteen, is learning how to run the Virginia plantation he grew up on. His older brother, Lord Stephan, has left to head a militia company. His younger brother, Lord Jacob, lives on the plantation with him.
With battles earlier that spring in Boston, Lady Mathilde Weiss, twenty-four, has been busy assisting her father, a physician. After an incident with a scraggly soldier, her parents fear for her safety.
When Mathildes friend asks her to come and visit, she decides to temporarily leave the turmoil in Boston.
A dinner and dance brings together Mathilde and Jeffery. After a fox hunting accident, she finds herself taking care ofhis injuries. Despite the fears of heartbreak, Mathilde finds herself falling in love with Jeffery. However, the beating and death of one of his slaves threatens to drive them apart.
She receives a letter from her sister telling her of the danger her family now faces in Boston. Mathilde feels torn between her new love and the love of her parents far away.
Will she accept the love of a slave-holding planter much younger than herself, or will she deny her heart and return to her family despite the danger of a possible war?
Vicki Stirm
Vicki Stirm lives in a small town in north central Indiana. She is married and shares a house with a husband, two teenage boys and a cat. She has a degree in Forestry (majoring in Forest Management) and works in the Horticulture Department at Purdue University. She was a research technician for many years and now works as a lab instructor and organizer for an introductory horticulture course. Vicki loves to sing and is in two groups at her church. Reading is also a big passion of hers and has been since she was in first grade. She liked history some when she was young, but didn’t like history in high school! She became more interested in it when a former friend introduced her to a re-enacting festival, The Feast of the Hunter’s Moon. She eventually became more interested in history around her. It became more exciting to her when she thought about the lives of people who lived in the past, not just names and dates of events. She became more involved in re-enacting when her older son (at age 8 ½) began to play the bagpipes in the 42nd Royal Highlanders of Lafayette, Indiana, an 18th century re-enactment band. They have traveled all over the Midwest and some out east. She is also a member of the board of directors for the organization. This novel is her first and she is already working on another.
