Paperback, 502 pages

Published September 26th 2020 by Fountain Creek Press

A Carnton Novel



My Review



Recently my family and I visited Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee.

Yes, I visited it because I was inspired to by this book.


After visiting the house then reading the book completely came to life. The characters and the plot I could completely visualize it in my mind.

Historical fiction books are my go to reads and they are all the more realistic

when you visit the site of the books.


I absolutely love this author's books. They are so full of detail, you can easily

visualize what is going on.

I have learned a lot from this author. Immaculate research.

Looking forward to what she puts out next.

GoodReads Summary


In a town battered and bruised by war, one woman embarks upon an impossible search—and one man must face the past in the very place that almost destroyed him.


Tennessee, 1866. According to the last letter Irish immigrant Catriona O'Toole received from her twin brother, Ryan, he was being dispatched to Franklin, Tennessee, where—as a conscripted Confederate soldier—he likely endured the bloody Battle of Franklin that claimed the lives of thousands. Catriona leaves behind the lush green of their Irish homeland in search of him, with nothing to her name except the sum of cash Ryan sent to their family. Now, as the sole provider for her seven-year-old spitfire sister, Nora, Catriona hopes to reunite the siblings—the only surviving members of their devastated family.


Wade Cunningham is a former Federal soldier who now works for the newly formed United States Secret Service and is trying to uncover counterfeiting rings in the postwar South. In order to infiltrate their sophisticated enterprise, he must pose as a former Confederate in Franklin—a town where counterfeit greens run rampant. When Wade meets Catriona, he is immediately intrigued by her and the little redheaded scamp in her care—but what he doesn't anticipate is that the cash in Catriona's possession is some of the most convincing counterfeit money he's ever seen. Soon the object of Wade's affection is also the suspect in a major crime—one he's expected to prosecute.
