My Dear Emma

1862 and the Civil War is raging. Hearing the call, James enlists, leaving his family behind and musters in to the 10th NY Volunteer Cavalry.

Flash forward one hundred fifty years. Rachel Benton is desperate. After the sudden death of her husband, and eviction from their house, she is forced to move across the country with her young daughter, Julia, to the small town of Oxford, to take care of her ailing grandmother, Nonna.  When Nonna dies, she finds herself immersed in the legal ramifications of handling her grandmother's estate. As she searches for Nonna's will, Rachel discovers Civil War diaries and letters along with other mysteries hidden in the house. Who are James and Emma? How will their lives impact hers? Will she find the answers before time runs out? 

A reader says... "I just started it this morning. So far I can't put it down. I give a book a hundred pages to hook me. I have been hooked from the very first chapter, maybe the first page. I love the way you are describing everything. Looks like you have a way of painting pictures."
Another reader, Jeff, picked up and read My Dear Emma today. He says, "I read it cover to cover. There were no good places to put it down. I just kept needing to find out what was going to happen next! Thanks for writing an awesome book!"
