Twin Oaks — Mary Lou Widmer

An epic story of families and lovers, of marriage and betrayal, "Twin Oaks" takes us from a plantation near New Orleans to the body-strewn battlefield of Antietam. Maureen Callahan, forced into a loveless marriage, is found by her husband in suspicious circumstances with her former sweetheart. Hurt and disillusioned, he joins the army. Seriously wounded, he now must decide if he is willing to return as a recovering invalid to a wife he does not even remember. Or should he try to lose himself in the frozen Virginia countryside?
