The Connexion
Between Two Fires

Winchester, Virginia. Orchard country and church spires, standing where armies will meet again and again.

At Abbington Hills, the MacDougal family lives in a world ruled by reputation, class, loyalty, and tradition. Jack MacDougal is expected to follow the path laid before him, but when he crosses paths with Sarah Schmidt, a young Mennonite woman raised under strict religious order, both families are pulled into a conflict neither can easily escape.

As tensions rise around Harper's Ferry and Winchester becomes a town caught between Union forces, Confederate loyalties, and partisan violence, the MacDougals must decide what matters most: social standing, family duty, personal freedom, or survival.

Book Two begins on the first day Virginia secedes from the Union.

Blending fictional characters with real Civil War era events.
