Winner: 2015 Independent Publishers Awards - Gold Medal "Abbie
Williams is an author who excels at the romance genre. Her Shore
Leave Cafe series is a showcase for her ability to weave a
contemporary tapestry, complete with rich characters, vivid
settings and seductive moods. With the Dove Saga trilogy, Williams
takes those ingredients and deposits them into an historical back
drop - in this case, the American Civil War - crafting an epic
story that is her most accomplished work to date."—Dean Mayes,
Author of: The Hambledown Dream, Gifts of the Peramangk, The
Recipient, The Artisan Heart The Civil War has ended, leaving the
country with a gaping wound. Lorie Blake, a southern orphan sold
into prostitution at fifteen, has carefully guarded her aching soul
from the disgrace forced upon her every evening. Two years have
passed, leaving her with little hope of anything more. Meanwhile,
three men – longtime friends – and a young boy with a heart of
gold are traveling northward, planning to rebuild their lives in
the north and leave behind the horrors of their time as soldiers in
the Confederate Army. Fate, however, has plans of its own, causing
their lives to collide in a river town whorehouse. Forced to flee,
Lorie escapes and joins them on the journey north. But danger
stalks them all in the form of a vindictive whorehouse madam and an
ex-Union soldier, insane and bent on exacting revenge. At last,
Lorie must come to terms with her past and devastating secrets that
she cannot yet bear to reveal. Heart of a Dove is the first book in
a gripping, sweeping romantic saga of pain, unbearable choices,
loss and true love set against the backdrop of a scarred,
post-Civil War America. The Dove Saga 1. Heart of a Dove 2. Soul of
