Part One Of Two PartsThe Civil War may be over, but in this conclusion to the North and South Trilogy, the battles of the heart have just begun. Like NORTH AND SOUTH and LOVE AND WAR, this novel blends historical detail and fiction. "A superb storyteller and compelling writer. Not necessary to have read the first two books, for events and people are clearly defined, thus HEAVEN AND HELL stands on its own considerable merit." (Chattanooga News-Free Press)
