Genteel Secrets By: S. R. Mallery Narrated by: Talmadge Ragan

This historical novel sets in the heart of the Civil War. Two people who are opposites meet and find a love that is true. Hannah is blackmailed into helping getting secrets from Union soldiers, while James enlists as a Pinkerton agent. The war and family are against them. When Hannah is sought by the Pinkerton agency, James makes a choice to save Hannah. Getting out of Washington, D.C. will not be easy, but they follow the underground railroad out. How the underground railroad operates is historically correct and I love her explanation of the quilts. It's probably the best one that I've read about. This story is emotionally charged, and sometimes I felt I was right there with James & Hannah.
