For Us the Living

A Woman of Price --Two Men of Passion -- A Saga of Love Blazing Free! -- Against the tumultuous drama of a land ravaged by the Civil War, Antonia Van-Loon has woven a tale of three extraordinary people whose destinies clash in suddenly awakened desire and the anguish of forbidden love. From the elegant drawing rooms of New York to the charred fields of Gettysburg -- a vivid story of high ideals struggling to survive cruel realities, and of daring hearts set afire in a brutal, exciting era!

Hero: Kent Wilson -- A doctor who carried on a private war between his compassion and his bitterness... A fierce lover who claimed he needed no one... He taught Beth the meaning of passion -- and angered her more than any man she had ever known.

Heroine: Mary Elizabeth (Beth) Shepherd -- A teacher who left the classroom to serve as a battlefield nurse... A proper young woman who made men reckless with desire... She had learned the rules of polite society -- and learned to disregard them.

Gregory Allister -- An aristocrat contemptuous of wealth... A celebrated war hero scornful of praise... He was the only man Beth had ever loved -- and the fiance of her best friend.
