The fall of 1864 finds Mosby's Rangers
in a violent clash with Sheridan's cavalry
in the Shenandoah Valley...

The fighting between the Confederacy and the Union evolved from a "gentlemanly conflict" to indiscriminate treachery. Measured in terms of human life, costly battles, lightning-quick raids, and secret missions effect the inevitable end of the War Between the States as President Lincoln has a commander in Ulysses S. Grant who will fight Robert E. Lee without mercy.

Returning to Virginia a young wife and expectant mother, homecoming at Shadowcreek is not what Salina Rose Hastings Barnes imagined. Yankee Major John Barnes-corrupted by a decades-old vendetta-has sworn to annihilate not only the Hastings family and the land they hold dear, but also Salina's husband, Captain Jeremy Barnes. The love Jeremy and Salina share, combined with their faith in the Almighty, produces the strength required to endure perilous trials.

Unable to serve as an active operative in her late father's spy ring, Salina's war contributions seem limited to knitting socks for Southern soldiers and nursing in a Richmond hospital. As anticipated victory eludes the defiant Confederacy, Salina dreams of life beyond the conflict and harbors hopes of solving the mystery surrounding the identity of Jeremy's natural father. The fall of Richmond and the Army of Northern Virginia's eventual surrender exact a heavy toll, but Jeremy and Salina continue to acknowledge God alone is worthy of the glory and honor for the great things He has done.

STRENGTH AND GLORY depicts the joys and woes of the Hastings family and their struggle to overcome the upheaval induced by America's Civil War. Irrevocably changed, they all must come to terms with applying the lessons history has imposed upon them.
