Encounter at Cold Harbor

Yankees! In Virginia! As the battles of the Civil War rage on, the Confederate army finds itself further and further behind. So many men are wounded, and the new recruits are looking either too old or too young. What will become of their dear old South? But the Northern invasion of Virginia isn't the only problem Jeff Majors is facing! Leah Carter is in Richmond, and Jeff can't understand why she's all out of sorts - just because she saw him at the theater with another girl! And as Captain Majors, Jeff's widowed father, finds relief from his loneliness in a growing friendship with pretty Eileen Fremont, Jeff becomes more and more outraged. He can see the direction things are heading, and he doesn't want a stepmother! Jeff learns a lot about love and family loyalty in this exciting tale of the Civil War.
