The year is 1961, and Emily learns that her best friend, Lorena, is dying from an incurable disease. She cries out to God, asking Him to allow her to help save her friend's life. Staring into the flames of the fireplace, Emily sees soldiers, blue and gray, and hears the lilting refrain of Dixie from a harmonica. She feels faint and passes out. When she awakens, the year is 1861, and she is in the embodiment of her great-aunt Emily Ann. Surrounded by people whom she does not know, but who know her, she struggles to find God's will for her in this time and place. A Union major who wants to marry her, a Confederate Captain who wants to seduce her, involvement in the Underground Railroad, and the intrigue of espionage, keep Emily too busy to wallow in despair. She knows God is always in control and trusts Him to show her His plan, in His timing, not hers. Written by Ellen K. Hatcher. 182 pages.
