War still hovers over America like a dark winter cloud but it can't stop the love Malcolm and Sarah have for one another. After many changes of date and changes of plan their marriage is finally set for Saturday, February 14th, 1863 - Valentine's Day. Since the man giving her away is her uncle Stonewall Jackson the guests at the wedding include a virtual who's who of the Army of Northern Virginia, including such luminaries as Robert E. Lee and Jeb Stuart. Everyone is doing their best to get Seven Oaks ready for the celebration, but even with so many doing their best and trying their hardest Sarah is still worried they will not be ready in time for the hundreds of well-wishers who will soon be descending upon the old Virginia plantation.
