Dreams of Savannah by Roseanna White
Stand alone novel
Summary:
But Phineas Dunn finds nothing redemptive in the first horrors of war. Struggling for months to make it home alive, he returns to Savannah injured and cynical, and all too sure that he is not the hero Cordelia seems determined to make him. Matters of black and white don't seem so simple anymore to Phin, and despite her best efforts, Delia's smiles can't erase all the complications in his life. And when Fort Pulaski falls and the future wavers, they both must decide where the dreams of a new America will take them, and if they will go together.
Opening Lines:
Cordelia Owens had dreamed of this day a hundred times. This moment. The story just waiting to happen. While the picnic was in full swing, she slipped away to her favorite spot in the backyard. The live oak towered here, its Spanish moss dripping inspiration. The music from Old Moses's fiddle danced through the air, setting the stage perfectly. A better setting for a romantic tale she couldn't possibly imagine. She swayed a bit to the music, relishing the feel of her hoops and petticoats moving along with her. She wore her favorite pale blue-green dress, with its tier of white lace matching her gloves.
Maybe today, finally, she would get to play the part of the heroine.
