Product Description
She Had Lost Her Husband Would Hatred Destroy Her As Well?

At the conclusion of The Last Confederate, almost twenty-four thousand Union and Confederate soldiers had fallen on the field of battle at Sharpsburg, making it the bloodiest day of American history. Among the casualties for the South was Captain Vance Wickham, husband of Belle Wickham. She was a daughter of Sky and Rebekah Winslow, and now the tragedy of war makes its dreaded call upon the Winslow family.

In The Dixie Widow, Belle Wickham's sorrow turns to anger and bitterness, then finally to blind hatred for the North. She declares in steely voice, "I live for only one purpose: to see the Union destroyed," and vows to remain a widow until the Yankees are whipped.

Belle is persuaded to travel to her Winslow relatives in the Washington, D.C. area and spy for the Confederacy at the risk of her own life. Taken into the home of her grandfather, Captain Whitfield Winslow, she is in a strategic position to secure secret information to pass to the South. But an even greater tragedy awaits the Winslow family.

A War That Divides the Nation Splits the House of Winslow

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reading..., April 13, 2002

By	Deborah L. Woodstuff "IntoTea" (Wellsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This story is an exciting book to read, one that I believe both men and women will enjoy.
The story is not predictable and has two very interesting story lines that ultimately join together.
The book also shows how hate can destroy ones life and that forgiveness can set all involved free. The story also shows the importance of faith in God.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Romance, August 3, 2000

By	Danielle Raymo (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This was one of my favorite House of Winslow books. I've loved all 23 of them, but this one I found very exciting and interesting. You get a chance to look into the mind of a female spy during the Civil War and the insides of a prison and hospital. Davis and Belle take you on many an adventure as they search out God and each other. You'll see how bitterness can affect you and how God's love can change all that for good! Enjoy your reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good war story, May 22, 1998

By A Customer

A spy novel about a confederate widow who was very bitter because her husband was slain and felt guilty being a spy. Morris is a master at describing the girl's feelings. If you want a good historical civil war, this is it!
