The Forever Rose (English Edition)

Emily Rhoades is on the brink of womanhood when the American Civil War begins. The war quickly brings tragedy. Families are split asunder as differing beliefs take hold, and Bethany's world is forever shattered. Her mind and her heart take different sides, and she must struggle with this internal turmoil while also dealing with the upheaval in the world around her. As the Shenandoah Valley where she lives is occupied, turn and turn about, by the Confederate and Union Armies, Bethany is drawn more and more into the actual conflict, and the actions she is forced to take to protect those she loves become increasingly perilous - and there is also the mystery and message of the three roses.
