Leigh Ann leads a sheltered life. Failing to understand the serious nature of the war that rages around her, she ends up putting her family--and herself--at risk. As a result, she's arrested by the Yankees and shipped up North. Rinaldi fans and Civil War buffs will enjoy the historical details and forgive the story's rather abrupt denouement. An author's note is appended. Bib.
