    About this ebook

    A chance meeting with a Yankee soldier on the bloody battlefield of Chickamauga sent Austin Cooper to the doorstep of a southern plantation in Grand Ecore, Louisiana.

     

    He held a battered picture of a girl. A stained, bent photograph of a charming southern belle he had yet to meet.

     

    Austin had walked halfway across the country to fulfill a promise to a dying soldier. Would a promise to a stranger change the course of his life?

     

    A gut-wrenchingly heartwarming short story in Kathryn Kaleigh's Southern Belle Civil War historical romance collection.
