Heartbeat Away

When a band of runaway slaves brings Union-loyal Elizabeth “Beth” Bumgartner a wounded Confederate soldier named “Joe”, it is the catalyst that pushes her to defy her pacifist parents and become a nurse during the Battle of Antietam.

Her mother’s mysterious good-bye gift is filled with quilt blocks that bring comfort to Beth during the hard days and lonely nights, but as she sews each block, she realizes there is a hidden message of faith within the pattern that encourages and sustains her. Reunited with Joe, Beth learns his secret and puts the quilt’s message to its greatest test- but can betrayal be forgiven?
