Opis

My Love, My Enemy is a spy thriller, a love story, and an adventure story woven within the fabric of actual historical events during the American Civil War. Fairfax and Cassandra love one another deeply; however, each takes a different side during the Civil War. Unknown to Fairfax, his wife is recruited to spy for the Union while he serves in the Confederate Army. In studying the Civil War, Author Joe B. Hewitt found that according to letters sent home by soldiers, that both sides believed deeply that their cause was just. My Love, My Enemy expresses those convictions felt by both the North and the South. Both used the same slogan, "Our cause is just, continue we must." My Love, My Enemy is not a sociological treatise, although it expresses the determination of abolitionists to end slavery and Southern plantation owners to keep it. The book expresses the deep resentment Negros had for being forced into slavery and their yearning for freedom. It expresses the mindset of Southern preachers that used the Bible to justify having slaves, and of other preachers that used the Bible to prove the opposite. The reader can get a picture of the extreme bigotry that people learned from childhood, and the uphill battle that non-bigoted people faced regardless of whether black or white. My Love, My Enemy is Joe B. Hewitt's sixth book and third novel. This book is quite different from the first two novels. Murder on the Sky Ride and Mystery of the Vanished Gold are murder mysteries set in 1978 and 2007.
