Summary
"Based on the real history of Carnton, an antebellum home that served as a Confederate hospital, Colors of Truth follows the journey of an Irish immigrant arriving in a country where her kind isn't wanted, and of a former Federal soldier returning to the scene of a battle that almost destroyed him"--, Provided by publisherTennessee, 1866. According to the last Catriona O'Toole received from her twin brother, Ryan, he was being dispatched to Franklin, Tennessee. As a conscripted Confederate soldier he likely endured the bloody Battle of Franklin. Catriona leaves their Irish homeland in search of him with their seven-year-old spitfire sister, Nora, hoping to reunite the siblings. Wade Cunningham is a former Federal soldier who now works for the newly formed United States Secret Service and is trying to uncover counterfeiting rings in the postwar South. To infiltrate their enterprise, he must pose as a former Confederate in Franklin, where counterfeit greenbacks run rampant. And the cash in Catriona's possession is some of the most convincing counterfeit money he's ever seen. -- Adapted from back cover
