Synopsis

Grace Kieler had a comfortable life in Charleston, SC until the outbreak of the Civil War. After losing everyone in her family but her sister, Louise, Grace found herself in the uniform of her dead Confederate brother, Henry. Louise donned the gray of their little brother, Will. Both women fought as men at Antietam but only one survived. After the war, Grace, still living as Henry, tries to find work near Shepherdstown, WV. Henry meets Virginia, a blind widow desperate to keep her farm from being sold out from under her. She proposes to Henry and they marry. They work side by side in the fields and Virginia begins to Fall for the rebel boy. Henry is comforted by his new wife. Together they are able to mend the wounds that tear at the underpinnings of the heart. As love blooms and Henry's secret becomes harder to conceal, the two realize they have something precious--an unspoken love that reveals the soul.
