A Soldier's Heart (The Wilderness Saga #5)

In this gripping continuation of the Wachsmann family saga, the stakes are even higher as the farm flourishes into a thriving dairy business, complete with two bustling milk wagons making weekly rounds to Superior, WI and Duluth, MN. Set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War era, only two of the Wachsmann men remain, leaving the resilient women of the family to pick up the slack, determined to honor their loved ones’ legacies and ensure the farm’s success.

As the Wachsmann’s thrive, the cities of Superior and Duluth find themselves embroiled in a fierce rivalry over access to a newly established shipping port at the Head of the Lakes. With both cities eager to capitalize on the opportunities brought on by the opening of the Erie and St. Mary’s Canals, tensions mount as Duluth strives to see their own entry to the harbor become a reality, igniting a new battle that transcends the fields and spills into the hearts of their communities.

However, the Wachsmann’s face an even graver challenge. Four years after Wyatt’s return from the horrors of Andersonville Prison, he is still plagued by nightmares and an uncontrollable rage that threatens the safety of his young wife.
