Produktbeschreibung

Lavinia Wheeler had watched as war had torn her world apart over the past three years When the Civil War comes to her doorstep, her generosity in opening her house as a hospital brings a change in her life far beyond any blessing she could have dreamed of or asked for.

Changes come with a price: between dealing with the Yankee-hating townsfolk, her former slaves, a passel of wounded Yankees, a government that takes a dim view of people who aid the enemy, and a group of raiders that is ravaging the countryside, Lavinia isn't sure that she has timeto care for herself.

Cavalry Sergeant Asa Sheppard was given the assignment to guard Miss Wheeler's treasures as a way to let him rest from the wound and exhaustion that had nearly sapped his will to live. Dealing with the peppery woman and facing the dangers beside her cures his wounds. He wonders if it will drive him mad.

Autorenporträt

Diana Wilder was born in Philadelphia and grew up all around the United States courtesy of the United States Navy. Perhaps because of the Irish in her, she liked to weave stories for her own enjoyment about the people she met and the places she saw during her travels. She graduated from the University of North Carolina with a degree in ancient and medieval history and experience in journalism.

Her love of storytelling developed into a love of writing. She wrote her first novella, based on Kamehameha's Hawaii, in middle school. She started writing novels in graduate school and has produced four novels set in New Kingdom Egypt: The City of Refuge, Mourningtide, Pharaoh's Son and A Killing Among the Dead, all part of The Memphis Cycle. Another volume, set after Mourningtide and prior to Pharaoh's Son, will be published under the name Kadesh.

The heartbreak and gallantry of the American Civil war has always caught her imagination, and she served as a Docent in the Civil War Library and Museum in Philadelphia for some years. The Safeguard arose from her research into the Georgia theater of the war.
