Innocence paired with wisdom beyond her years--With these traits, Elanna
Hanssen unwittingly captures the attentions of Major Madison Scott. Her
honest desire to understand the war fascinates him, and he resolves to get
to know this perspicacious young lady better. When he is called away to
fight the French and the Indians, they begin a correspondence, cautiously
baring their hearts to one another. Elanna has never known emotions like
these before, but she is drawn to the integrity she sees in her major. When
a writer for the first newspaper in the colony questions the major's
credentials and activities, however, will she allow her heart or her head to
rule? Can true love grow over such distance and around such obstacles?
