He reluctantly goes back to the Greenes, but there is more than one surprise in store for him as he runs from God.
'The Reluctant Bridegroom' tells of the greatest love story in the Winslow line. Sky Winslow, son of Christmas, is living in the harsh Western territory with his son. Betrayed by a philandering wife, he has vowed to never love again. He is persuaded to go to the East and bring a wagonload of mail-order brides back to the woman-less territory. Two women on the train captivate his attention--Rita Duvall, a clever dance hall girl, and Rebekah Jackson, a young woman with a baby and one on the way. Can he get past his own hurt and see the love harbored for him?
'The Last Confederate' begins the series of 3 Civil War books. Sky Winslow is living in Virginia on a prosperous cotton plantation. Though vehemently against slavery, he does own his share. Thad Novak, a wandering boy from the North, almost dies in the snow before Toby, one of Sky's slaves, saves him. Thad stays with the Winslows as a hired boy, but gets his fair share of hate as a Yankee. He is forced to join up with the Confederacy as a substitute and through a wild turn of events, is charged with treason! Things look grim for young Novak as he's shuffled from one prison to another. Can the love of young Patience Winslow save him in his darkest hour?
'The Dixie Widow' tells the story of Belle Winslow, the eldest daughter of Sky. Her husband was killed in the war, and she vows not to remarry until the North is defeated. She agrees to go on a dangerous mission for the Cause: she will become a spy, burrowing into the folds of her own family. The Northern Winslows, descended from Paul, have no idea of her intention. Whitfield Winslow is delighted to have this "Southern cousin", as are his grandsons, Lowell and Davis. When Lowell is killed in Georgia and Belle is defaced as a spy, Davis harbors nothing but hatred for this Southern relative, and vows to avenge his brother's death. It's Winslow against Winslow now--who will survive?
'The Wounded Yankee' takes place simultaneously with the last book. Zack Winslow, grandson of Christmas's brother George, has served his time in the Northern army. He saw enough action to sour his taste for philosophy--and when he returns to his home, he is distraught with the news of his fianc?e and his business partner. Determined to get away from life and civilization, he aspires to be a hermit in Alder Gulch, Montana. Soon enough, however, he finds himself saddled with another man's child and a hateful half-breed Indian woman. He formulates a plan to get rid of them, but God obviously has something else in mind.« less
