Short synopsis:
This story is of romance during the American Civil War. It tells the story of the life of Ephraim White, a Union northerner from West Virginia who crossed over into the southern Confederate state of Virginia to marry a reluctant young southern girl named Julia Spencer. Ephraim had won the right to marry her in a showdown poker game with her father two years before when she was just twelve years old.
Ephraim is a land surveyor by trade and a gambler by choice. He has worked hard to earn and save all he could, plus he also has won money through gambling, enough to buy a small plantation in the Richmond area before he marries the young girl who has just turned fourteen. After marriage Ephraim eventually becomes a spy for both sides (a double agent) during the Civil War. The spying could get him hanged by either side if he were to be discovered.
The story begins as Ephraim is crossing over the state line into Virginia and details Ephraim’s life through the remainder of the Civil War and well beyond while encompassing many, many harrowing wartime experiences. Ephraim’s love life suddenly becomes quite complicated when he meets a young red-headed Irish woman named Gina Ellsworth.
