LOVE ABIDETH STILL
2013
Five months after his death, the body of Sarah’s estranged husband, a Union soldier, finally comes home for burial in Philadelphia. Taylor’s burial, though, rather than putting her unresolved grief to rest, begins a journey that will not just test her faith, but will plumb the depths of her devotion to her dead husband. From the bloody battlefields of Winchester and Bull Run to the quiet streets of Philadelphia, Love Abideth Still is a fictional story based upon the lives of the author’s Civil War ancestors whose sacrifice—like so many others who loved and lost during the War Between the States—has not been forgotten. It is a moving story of war and forgiveness, one in which a young woman discovers that it is possible to fall in love again with her husband even when separated from him by the finality of death.

LOVE REMEMBRETH NOT
2017
The War Between the States has ended. Henry Heimsoath, a veteran Confederate soldier, has seen his share of death and bloodshed. Everything he once held dear back home in Charleston is lost. Alone, sick, and malnourished, he crosses paths one stormy night with a kindly doctor who offers to nurse him back to health. Despite the doctor’s kindness and generosity, though, Henry is reluctant to trust anyone with little more than his name—until he meets Geneva, a young woman determined to help him put to rest the ghosts of his past. From the streets of Charleston to the plantations of rural Maryland with the bloody battlefields of the Civil War between, Love Remembreth Not tells a story of friendship and faith, and the power of a woman’s love to heal a wounded heart.

LOVE ENDURETH MUCH
2018
Lured by the bounty of enlistment in the Union army to support his impoverished family, William Tucker committed himself to three long years of war, only to see his sacrifice reduced to nothing when he receives a letter from home that changes his life forever.

From the bloody battlefields of the Civil War to the gently rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania and its scattered Quaker communities, Love Endureth Much tells a story of broken hearts and new beginnings, of finding love in the most unexpected of places... at the end of hope.
