Mariah Taylor’s only wish is a return to the security of days gone by—a desire made nearly impossible with a war tearing the nation apart and her family somewhere lost in it.

Numb from its pain, he vows to never grow close to anyone again and finds the chance to do so within the elite ranks of Confederate special operations. But when his path crosses with an opinionated young woman, he is forced to face the griefs that haunt him and the fears that shroud his future. Can the God who brought peace to Bethlehem, bring rest to their weary hearts?
