Stay the Course

In the rolling hills of Winchester, Virginia, the McCall family stands proud until the storm of the Civil War threatens to pull them apart.

Margaret McCall never intended to fall for her brother’s best friend, but before she can hope for a future with him, she must face the shadows of her past. Brigid, the quiet strength of the family, is left behind to keep the farm running in a world turned upside down. Gabriel, the family jester, craves adventure and enlists in the Confederate army seeking glory and stories to tell, yet war is not the game he imagined. Michael, driven and sharp, sees his officer’s commission as a path to power, but instead finds that battles are not fought on paper. Raphael must decide if loyalty means blind obedience, or the courage to stand for what is right. Cousin Matthew is tangled in his father’s dark schemes and forced to carry a secret that could destroy the very people he loves.

As the war rages from distant fields to their own back yard, the McCalls must decide who they are, what they believe, and how far they’ll go for family, honor and freedom.

Stay the Course is the epic beginning of a compelling trilogy where history collides with family and every choice could change a life… or a legacy.
