When Union soldiers destroy her home and take away her father, Adair becomes the sole caretaker of her two younger sisters. Our heroine is eventually arrested and falsely accused of enemy collaboration, then incarcerated in a women's prison in St. Louis with other like-charged women. Against her better judgment, she falls in love with a Union officer, Major William Neumann. Finally freed, but her spirit broken, Adair takes the perilous journey home, seeking to make the best of her ruined world. Adair's transformation from fearless to broken mimics the transformation of the Confederacy, but there is hope for her that love will prevail despite politics and war.
