Meet Elizabeth Van Lew, Richmond's most unlikely rebel.

Chiaverini transforms this real Civil War figure into a captivating fictional heroine who proves that the pen (and a few stolen documents) can be mightier than the sword.

Perfect for historical fiction lovers who crave strong female protagonists and anyone fascinated by Civil War intrigue. Chiaverini, bestselling author of the Elm Creek Quilts series, weaves espionage with emotional depth, exploring themes of loyalty, courage, and moral conviction during America's darkest chapter.
