Summary

Irish immigrant Maggie Malone wants no part of the war. But after her brothers join Missouri's Irish Brigade and one of their names appears on a list of injured soldiers, she heads for Boonville, desperate for news. When circumstances force her to remain with the brigade, she discovers how capable she is of helping the men she comes to think of as "her boys." As mistress of her brother's Missouri plantation, Elizabeth Blair has learned to be the perfect hostess--and not to question her brother Walker's business affairs. When Walker helps organize the Wildwood Guard for the Confederacy and offers the plantation as center of operations, Libbie must manage a house with officers in residence and soldiers camped on her lawn. Despite being neighbors, Maggie and Libbie have led such different lives that they barely know each other--until war brings them together, and each woman discovers that friendship and love can come from the unlikeliest of places
