James Goldby is on the wrong side of the Civil War. Born into a long line of Georgia farmers, he's never lived without slaves. He enlists in the Confederate militia because everyone else tells him it's the right thing to do. But is it? Josephine "Josie" Sherman is daughter to a well off, honest, and kind merchant. Unable to join the war as a soldier, she signs up as a volunteer Union nurse to serve her country as best she can. With a deep-seated hatred for "rebs," she wonders how God could ever be merciful to such men. James and Josie meet when James is left hurt, hungry, and helpless in enemy territory. When the lines between grey and blue are stripped away, will they be able to find common ground? Or will a battlefield forever stretch between them? #thelightawards2k20

She runs errands for Mother, tries to stay out of the spotlight in The Fallen, a notorious gang known for off-market gun deals, but somehow manages to change all that in just minutes. Jake had the world in the palm of his hands. He had the best looking girl in school, scouts sent letters and emails daily begging him to join their team.

It took only minutes, but the accident changed both their lives, sending them spiraling farther than either thought they could go. Twitch does what she can to survive, but running into Jake brings back painful memories she had for so long hidden. Jake finds comfort in bottles he never thought he'd turn to. They run into each other, unable to stay together, unable to stay apart.
