About

Willa

1860s Setting include rural Ohio, Chicago, the southern battlefields of William Sheridan, the Eastern Theater of war and Washington City.

The outbreak of the Civil War marks the opening of a military camp just miles from Willa Rolfs farm and the daily news of the battles come right to her front door. The story is told from three different experiences, Willa at home, her brother Louie on the march to Atlanta with General Sherman and the battlefields in the east through the eyes of Artist Matthew Alison. As the nation is in crisis so is Willa’s once orderly life; and the burning question is, will she ever find true love?

The war reaches a crescendo and Willa just has to do something to help. Time speeds by, General Lee surrenders and then the nation mourns President Lincolns assassination.

Willa is a survivor and as all good stories should end, she realizes her heart’s desire.
