The Sword Cuts Both Ways

Julia and Andy Merriweather finally bought their dream home. It’s over one hundred years old and full of history, though they never expected to be taken on the journey of discovery and mystery that this home would bring.

Julia finds a diary hidden in the back of the headboard of a beautiful antique four-poster bed that came with the house. The first entry in the diary is by Lillian Ann Carter in April 1862, in the thick of the Civil War in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Julia immediately feels a connection with Lillian, follows her life through the diary, and wonders why she is drawn to this woman who lived over one hundred years ago.

As the story unfolds, you will fall in love with Lillian and Johnathan, two star-crossed lovers from different worlds, as they struggle against all odds to stay together amidst a war that neither of them understands and that threatens to tear them apart.
