Blood Moon

Charleston lies in ruins and so, it seems, does Emily's future. She has sacrificed everything for a chance to attend university—her family, her home, even her relationship with Thaddeus Black. But without her father's blessing, how will she afford tuition? With hostilities raging between North and South, how will she gain acceptance at a school in the Union? She's lost so much already. What will the war claim next? In the midst of such uncertainty, Emily finds that hope can rise from ashes, determination grows with adversity, and love can take root in even the most stubborn of hearts.
