Deep in the Shenandoah Valley, the present and the past are as restless as the river mists. And when they collide, the heart is the only compass pointing home.

Nicole R. Dickson, author of the novels Casting Off and Here and Again, currently resides in North Carolina with her daughter, two dogs, and an unforgiving yard of acorns. When not attending to her other responsibilities, she can be found in some far corner of the library buried in history, racing the ghosts in her local Revolutionary War battleground, or discussing the clutter of leaves with the lightning bugs in the forest of her backyard.
Ginger Martin lives on her late husband’s farm in the Shenandoah Valley, raising three young children and working as a nurse. Now her in-laws want to sell the farm, and Ginger is wondering how she can keep it when money is so tight and there is no one to do the work. But the farm is her children’s legacy, and Ginger is determined to hold on to her home. The sudden appearance of a stranger dressed in a Civil War uniform will change everything for the Martin family. The mystery man turns out to be Samuel Annanais, a Confederate soldier killed in battle but unable to move on to the next world. Somehow, the Martins are able to interact with him, and Samuel becomes an important part of life on the farm. Dickson, whose first novel, Casting Off (2009), was a top entry for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, seamlessly blends past and present in this deeply satisfying novel of a family coming together after a devastating loss, finding strength in the most unexpected of places, and discovering exactly where they truly belong. --Carol Gladstein
