Alyssa Cole knows how to get you in your feelings. This is the story of Marley and Ewan. The product of a former slave and slave master, Marley has spent most of her life living under the safety of her sister who took her into the family estate. As a well known herbalist and abolitionist everything changes for Marley the night her brother returns home with his wife and Marley offers refuge to a Union soldier. As the war continues to wage on Marley finds solace in Ewan while everything she’s ever known crumbled. A story of unlikely forbidden love blossoming under the most dangerous of circumstances, Cole keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
