"The best Civil War fiction book since Cold Mountain." – J. Bibb, SCV, Trimble Camp 1836
Honor and conviction clash with loyalty and love in this epic Civil War love story that pits brother against brother. Shades of Gray chronicles the clash of a Confederate cavalry officer with a Union spy as they defend their beliefs, their country, and their honor.
Shades of Gray was re-published as Noble Cause with a happily-ever-after ending. The original Shades of Gray was expanded and enhanced into the Shades of Gray Civil War Trilogy.
Called "a riveting piece of historical fiction" by the Midwest Book Review and often compared to Gone with the Wind, the novel takes readers across the rolling hills of Virginia in a page-turning tale of courage and love.
Gallantry and chivalry are put to the test when Colonel Alexander Hunter discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he has vowed to his men he would destroy. Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the lives of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever.
