April 12,\u00a0\u00a01861. Bright, gutsy and young,Geneva Chatfield\u00a0\u00a0marries Nash Hart in Albemarle County, Virginia, the\u00a0\u00a0same day Fort Sumter’s guns fire the start of the\u00a0\u00a0Civil War. Five days later she loses him as Nash\u00a0\u00a0joins the Confederate Army. Geneva, who is known\u00a0\u00a0as the best rider since Light Horse Harry Lee,\u00a0\u00a0cuts her hair, dons a uniform, enlists as ‘Jimmy\u00a0\u00a0Chatfield,’ then rides off to be with her\u00a0\u00a0beloved Nash. But sensitive Nash recoils in horror\u00a0\u00a0from the violence of war, while Geneva is\u00a0\u00a0invigorated by the chase and the fight. Can she be all the\u00a0\u00a0man her husband isn’t? She’ll sure as hell try.\u00a0\u00a0But there is a complication, and his name is Major\u00a0\u00a0‘Mars’ Vickers. This macho major, to his own\u00a0\u00a0shock and amazement, finds himself inexplicably\u00a0\u00a0attracted to the young soldier named ‘Jimmy.’\u00a0\u00a0And this is only the beginning of a novel that\u00a0\u00a0moves with sureness and grace from the ferocity of\u00a0\u00a0battle to the struggle on the homefront, and brings\u00a0\u00a0passion and sly humor to a story of dawning love.\u00a0\u00a0High Hearts<\/i> is a penetrating,\u00a0\u00a0delightful and sweeping tale that gives fresh life to a\u00a0\u00a0fascinating\u00a0\u00a0time<\/p>\n
