A War In The Wilderness - Paperback

by Ingrid Jones (Illustrator), Jean Hackensmith (Author)

Amid the turmoil of the Civil War, the women of Wachsmann's Farms face an unprecedented challenge. With the men drafted under The Enrollment Act of 1863, the spirited Sarah Wachsmann defies her son Seth's wishes to abandon the fields until their return. Instead, she envisions a bold plan: to build a cheese factory that will produce Cheddar cheese and condensed milk for the soldiers fighting on the front lines.

When the crew she hires proves to be dangerous and threatening, Sarah's dream hangs in the balance. Desperate to protect her home and the other women in her family, she turns to Jeb Ryker, a rugged local with a heart of gold. Together, they devise a daring plan to reclaim the farm from the unscrupulous men who threaten their safety.

As Sarah and Jeb work side by side, a passionate bond forms between them, igniting a love that flourishes even as the war rages on. But with tragedy looming and the stakes escalating, will their newfound love withstand the challenges of a country at war?

Join Sarah and Jeb in this poignant historical romance, where courage, resilience, and love intertwine in a fight for survival against the backdrop of a nation divided.
