Helpful Score: 1


Union Captain Caleb Morgan is wounded and left for dead in the retreat of his troops, but his luck changes when he's discovered by Megan Llewellyn.

Megan's community, Black Hollow, Tennessee, is purposely isolated but staunchly Confederate. Megan knows that Caleb will be killed if he's found, so she hides him in her cabin.

When Megan learns that her fianc, Seth Brennan, is in a Union prison camp, she is even more determined for Caleb to recover so she can trade him for Seth.

Caleb's recovery is difficult, but he's more concerned with the drudgery and restrictions Megan accepts as normal in her life. In Black Hollow conduct is ruled by the men and the religion they have adopted, and beautiful Megan, who loves to read and draw, must hide both because they are viewed as a waste of time.
