This is a legend of a time long ago, retold many times to many generations. It is of love and adventure and of good versus evil. Growing up, Snow was a shy boy, and Little Rose was a skinny, pesky girl. They lived in a village next to a river that flowed through the beautiful, peaceful valley that was their world. Their valley had all that their people needed and wanted: fish to catch in the river, game in the woods to hunt, and berries, roots, grain, and herbs to be gathered. All in their village worked together, making life good. Their peace and harmony are shattered. Challenges are forced on Snow, Little Rose, and their people. Courageous deeds define a hero. Legends are created by people that are much more than heroes. Legends are created by those that inspire their people with great virtues. Snow and Little Rose are thrust into many situations not of their making or desires. With a good heart, determination, and a lot of good luck, they become much more than they thought they could be. The great spirits created men and women to bond together to become more than the sum of them as individuals.

The author of the “magnificent…complex, vivid” (New York Journal of Books) Sin Eater returns with a rousing and propulsive novel based on the astonishing true story of the first female Pinkerton detective whose next assignment could end the Civil War. Kate Warner is many things: the country’s first female detective, a Pinkerton agent, and a union spy. It’s August 1861, and her latest assignment could finally end the bloody war and bring the fractured United States together again. All she has to do is win the trust of her captive: Confederate spy and socialite Rose Greenhow. But with Rose well aware of Kate’s working-class background and belief in abolitionism, it seems an impossible task. Worst, Kate has secrets that make her vulnerable, such as her forbidden love affair with a colleague. With time running out, Kate faces not only the moral and political divides between herself and Rose but also the ones she made in her own heart and life. Can she make the difficult decision over which divides are worth crossing? Or will she fail the most important assignment of her career in this spellbinding and moving new novel from Megan Campisi?

In this variation on the Cinderella story, based on the Charles Perrault version but set in the Smoky Mountains, Rose loses her glass slipper at a party given by the rich feller on the other side of the creek.
