Ride the Dappled Mare: A Civil War Romantic Novel
by Joan Elizabeth Moody Baker
The Mason-Dixon Line clearly delineated the geographical territory between the North and South; but people and their lives are not so easily categorized. In this Civil War novel, the reader meets a Southern judge who has never owned a slave; an Englishman who joins the Confederate Army; a free-spirited Southern belle who often chafes under her social restraints; an Episcopalian rector who is not what he seems; and a free black family who chooses to stay with their employers. The joys, delights, heartbreaks, and trials of life are magnified during times of trouble; and all these are here in Ride the Dappled Mare: A Civil War Romantic Novel, finely penned by Joan Elizabeth Moody Baker.
