This book follows William and Ginny's son, Liam, to Cuba in 1898 where he has joined Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders in fighting against Spain in the Spanish American War. As a field doctor, Liam will help many, see some die, and also surprisingly fall in love. Meanwhile back at home at The Forest Plantation in Charles City, Virginia, his father Dr. William Brown reads Liam's letters to the family and is reminded of a story from the War Between the States. This story involves his cousin Judy when she fell in love with a Union soldier. As William tells the story to his family, a secret is revealed that even Ginny doesn't know about.
