Shadows

Before Civil War rocked the nation, one young woman fought for the freedom to follow her heart.



After the death of her mother, Emma works tirelessly to honor her memory by caring for her Da and two brothers. Her workload is a hefty one, which leaves no time for such luxuries as being courted by a suitor. Lonely, Emma seeks comfort in knowing she's doing right by her family and her Lord.



But when a young man rescues Emma from a scoundrel, he awakens feelings within her that she never knew existed. Suddenly, her life is filled with laughter and joy- as well as a cloud of worry that this new bliss will end.



The changes in Emma's behavior do not go unnoticed by her family, and soon create civil unrest all their own. Unbeknownst to her, they make arrangements for her future that won't include love.



Struggling to decide if she should follow her heart or accept the fate her family has chosen for her, Emma prays for God to show her His will.



Will her path burn bright enough to melt away doubt?

Or will truth be found in the shadows?
