PLOT SYNOPSIS: The Civil War is imminent in the United States as thirty one year old Alexander Fairfield meets Sarah Sullivan, a beautiful and wealthy young widow. They are attracted at once, and although their cultural backgrounds are vastly different, they are drawn to each other immediately. Sarah is accustomed to mixing with the most influential members of Washington's society, the city where both are living. Even so, she is very responsive to becoming involved in a relationship with Alexander who is well known for having lived an adventurous lifestyle in the past. In the background of the romance, a rare event occurs when Malcolm, an escaped slave, appears and is given shelter by Alexander. Also, a troubling matter for Alexander takes place when he is approached by both the North and the South asking for his services as a spy. He has friends on both sides and though he opposes slavery he cannot readily support the North because he was born in the South. The result leaves him with a monumental decision to make.
