Opis

The Crisis is a romance set amidst the turmoil of the American Civil War. The divisions that threatened to tear apart the country prior to the Civil War were nowhere more apparent than in St. Louis. On the border between North and South, civilization and the frontier, it was host to passionate sympathizers on both sides of the slavery issue. When a young abolitionist lawyer falls for the daughter of a Southern gentleman, the turbulent political atmosphere creates a seemingly impossible barrier. Can a meeting with Abraham Lincoln change everything? A meticulously-researched work, filled with real historical figures, The Crisis is a gripping read for history buffs and romantics alike.
