Love, Come to Me

Lucy Caldwell is rescued from breaking ice by Heath Rayne, a Southerner living in post-war Massachusetts under the burden of secrets and local suspicion. Their attraction crosses regional loyalties and disrupts the future Lucy had expected with a conventional New England suitor.

Set after the American Civil War, the novel uses the uneasy relationship between North and South during Reconstruction as the background to a domestic romance. Community memory, veteran identity and sectional prejudice remain powerful even far from the former battlefields.
