Vintage hardcover, no dustcover, 1959 printing. TORN BY CONFLICTING LOYALTIES, LINKED BY PASSIONATE LOVE The Civil War had separated beautiful, willful Lorena Selby from her husband. He had gone to fight the Yankees, while she stayed behind to protect the opulence of Selby Hall and the vast plantation it dominated. But the Civil War brought danger. Danger because Sherman's plundering armies were advancing and Lorena's beloved Selby Hall lay directly in their path. Danger because with the invaders came the one man Lorena would ever love - a man whose accent was northern, whose uniform was Union blue, whose allegiance was to the enemy.
