It is December 10th, 1862 as Leigh Calvert bids goodbye to her father, Colonel William Calvert of Calvert's Legion who is on his way to fight alongside General Lee against the Union army at Fredericksburg, Virginia. But what he and her precocious twelve-year old nephew Thomas do not know is that Leigh is really a Union sympathizer and when she finds a badly wounded Union officer dying in her barn, she must struggle to keep his presence a secret from her father, his men and her Yankee-hating family who have returned home to take shelter at the Calvert Plantation. But the officer has a story of his own to tell. British-born Captain James Merrill has lived a lonely and loveless life among his father's aristocratic family in England. How he comes to be at the Calvert Plantation makes for one of the most unusual tales of the American Civil War.
