Synopsis

High Ground is a fictional account of the legal, political, and moral conflict that would eventually turn American against American. Garrett Fitzwilliam sacrificed the woman he loved to preserve the Union, but how does he defend the United States of America when America's survival depends upon an army sabotaged by its own incompetence? Or was America lost when the president, who swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, imprisoned his political foes?

From the Back Cover

"This damn war has cost me everything I love...everything that mattered, and I don't even know why I'm fighting anymore."

In 1860, Captain Garrett Fitzwilliam is living in the center of American politics, viewing the divisive issues of the day through his nonpartisan lawyer eyes. His life is defined by love of country and faith in the rule of law...until Rachael Hayes Kendrick enters his world. This sassy young widow captures more than the cocky captain's imagination. She proves to him that love is indeed an act of faith, and Rachael's faith in Garrett is indomitable. Her faith will sustain him when war divides the North and the South; his misguided sense of duty may cost him her love. But for what exactly did he pay so high a price?

In the wake of war, everything Garrett believes in, the core of his existence, is collapsing. The Union army suffers repeated defeats not owing entirely to the brilliance of Robert E. Lee's command of the Confederate army, and in Washington, a very different enemy has emerged. This insidious enemy poses a threat to the United States that Garrett never thought possible. But this enemy no officer may dare to challenge.

So how will Garrett Fitzwilliam defend his country when his country's survival depends upon an army sabotaged by its own incompetence? Or was his country lost when the man who swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution imprisoned his political foes?

Would the answers matter so much to Garrett if Rachael loved him again?
