A Southern belle fights to reclaim her home, but will her spying destroy the Union officer she never meant to love?
Savannah Adair has endured the unimaginable, hiding in a cave while her beloved Vicksburg was under siege. With the city now occupied by Union soldiers, Savannah cannot stand by and do nothing. So when one of the gaunt, half-starved Confederate prisoners asks her to spy for the South, she can’t refuse the chance to take back her home.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Have you ever been adamant in a belief or cause and then realized that you have been wrong? Savannah Adair is the perfect example of the change that can come from enlightenment and faith! Slavery was the norm for this Southern belle until a crucial Civil War battle presented a different perspective. Vicksburg, Mississippi was critical to both the Union and Confederacy, and author Sandra Merville Hart shares a poignant look at the aftermath of this battle. Lives were lost, families were changed, and the residents of Vicksburg were subjected to Union occupation. Savannah's spy activities started as a way to help her beloved Southern cause until she gained a new understanding. What would her next actions be?
Hart's dedication to research is especially evident in this riveting conclusion of the Spies of the Civil War series. Tides of Healing is an engaging story of family drama, blossoming romance, and awakening faith. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction!
