Christine's Promise

Christine Boyd is the envy of all the ladies in Riverford, Texas, in 1885. She is, after all, the daughter of a revered Confederate general and the wife of a wealthy banker, Richard Boyd. Beautiful, accomplished, elegant—she exhibits the exquisite manners she was taught in antebellum Charleston. She is the perfect southern lady.

Or is she?

The truth is that Christine's genteel outward demeanor hides a revolutionary spirit. When she was ten years old and fleeing Union-invaded Charleston, she made a radical promise to God.

She plans to keep that promise.

Tradition-bound Riverford, Texas, may never be the same.
