Ruth Danson, a feisty seventeen-year-old Pennsylvania farm-girl
abandons her family in the spring of 1863 to be with the man she
loves, nineteen-year-old William Jay Lytell, a private with John
Mosby's 43rd Battalion of Virginia Cavalry--the famed Mosby's
Rangers. Through the lush panoramic beauty of Virginia's Shenandoah
Valley and across the vast expanse of war-ravaged Virginia, Li'l
Bud thunders across the pages in a maelstrom of cannon smoke and
musket fire. Robert E. Lee and U.S. Grant; Phil Sheridan and George
Custer; A.P. Hill and John Hancock are seen through the eyes of
Li'l Bud and Jay as they fight and love through the killing years
of the Civil War. It is the heartbreaking story of sister against
brother as Ruth rides against her brother David of the 116th
Pennsylvania Infantry. In raids and skirmishes Li'l Bud encounters
hometown friends in the Ringgold and 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry
blurring the lines between North and South. Amidst the flames and
anguished cries as the Shenandoah Valley burns from Union torches,
Li'l Bud, with a pair of Colt .44s and her faithful chestnut filly,
Princess, will let nothing stand in the way of love in the arms of
William Jay.
