For Jeff Johnson, a young historical researcher for a Civil War novelist, reality is redefined when he meets Annie, an intense and lovely young woman suffering from vivid, intense nightmares. Haunted by the dreamer and her unrelenting dreams, Jeff leads Annie on an emotional odyssey through the heartland of the Civil War in search of a cure. On long-silenced battle fields their relationship blossoms--two obsessed lovers linked by unbreakable chains of history, torn by a duty that could destroy them both.
It is extremely hard to classify this book, as it works (and works very well) on many different levels. It is a love story, a synopsis of the American Civil War including a quick tour of the Civil War battlefields, an investigation into obsessive behavior vs practical action, a mystery with clues scattered hither an yon for the reader to discover . . .
Try it; you'll like it!
