Beneath the Vicksburg Sky

Beneath the Vicksburg Sky
By Winfield Scott Warren

In the summer of 1863, the cannons fell silent over Vicksburg-but for Union soldier Jeb Kraft, the battle was far from over. Serving directly under General Ulysses S. Grant through some of the Civil War's fiercest campaigns, Jeb's courage on the battlefield was matched only by an unexpected and powerful love-Hailey Kaye Faulkner, the spirited daughter of a Southern planter.

Bound by a forbidden romance in the ashes of war, their lives twist together against the backdrop of surrender, reconstruction, and the struggle to rebuild a fractured land. When the war ends at Appomattox, Jeb returns to Vicksburg to find Hailey's father gravely ill and the family's plantation in peril. Determined to honor both love and duty, Jeb hires former slaves as paid workers, offering them wages, education, and dignity-a bold stand in a South still bleeding from war.

From the smoke of battle to the quiet beauty of magnolia-lined fields, Jeb and Hailey's story is one of sacrifice, resilience, and a love strong enough to withstand a nation's deepest divides. Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, Beneath the Vicksburg Sky brings to life the romance, hardship, and hope of an America forever changed by the Civil War.

Perfect for fans of:

• Civil War historical fiction

• Stories of resilience, rebuilding, and love in divided times

Step into a world where love must fight for survival-because sometimes the bravest battles are fought after the war is over.
