🌾 Evelyn Whitaker

A Southern healer with a defiant heart, Evelyn has no time for politics—only people. Her family's Georgia plantation is crumbling, and her conscience often puts her at odds with the Confederacy she’s meant to uphold. But she believes in mercy, not flags.

🎖️ Charles Ashby

A Union officer and the son of a Boston abolitionist, Charles believes in justice, duty, and survival. During a scouting mission turned ambush near the Shenandoah Valley, he's injured and left behind—only to be discovered by Evelyn, who defies orders to care for him.

✉️ The Encounter

Their meeting is brief—just three days of stolen conversations in the shadows of war. But something stirs in both of them: a fragile trust, a spark neither dares name, and a single request as Charles slips away into the night:

“If you believe in anything, believe in words. Write to me.”

💌 The Letters Begin

Despite the danger, they write—across enemy lines, through mud-soaked camps and candlelit nights. Their words carry:

• 🌙 Poetic reflections and wartime fears

• 🌿 Secrets never spoken aloud

• 💔 Longings they can only admit on paper

Each letter deepens their bond—but the war deepens too. With each passing season, it becomes harder to know whether they’ll ever meet again… or if their love will only exist between pages and promises.

📜 In a time when the country was torn in two, two hearts reached across the divide—carried only by courage and ink.

🕊️ Will love be remembered… or lost to history?
