When someone begins desecrating the graves of soldiers buried near [Stonewall] Jackson's former headquarters, it is Jamie Lockhart who uncovers an incredible secret that could very well cost him his life... This magnificent novel hauntingly and vividly brings to life one of the most dramatic periods of the Civil War, and the resilient people who lived through it.
