The farm of Union widow Liberty Hollow is confiscated and converted into a Confederate field hospital, bringing her face-to-face with unspeakable suffering and a Confederate scout who awakens her long dormant heart. While Liberty's future crumbles, the past comes rushing back to Bella, Liberty's hired help who was formerly enslaved. Bella finds herself surrounded by Southern soldiers-and one reporter who learns a secret she's hidden from Liberty for 20 years.

In the wake of shattered homes and bodies, Liberty and Bella struggle to pick up the pieces the battle has left behind. Will Liberty be defined by the tragedy in her life, or will she find a way to triumph over it?

Widow of Gettysburg is a work of fiction inspired by first-person accounts from women whose letters and journals offer a glimpse into the lives of women living in Gettysburg during the battle and its aftermath.
