Dreams Of Savannah By Roseanna M White

Cordelia Owens can weave a hopeful dream around anything and has long since won the hearts of Savannah's society with her whimsy. Even when she receives word that her sweetheart has been lost during a raid on a Yankee vessel, she clings to hope and comes up with many a romantic tale of his eventual homecoming to reassure his mother and sister.

But Phineas Dunn finds nothing redemptive in the first horrors of war. Struggling for months to make it home alive, he returns to Savannah injured and changed, The beliefs he once held about slavery and the entire war have been upended, and he's all too sure that he is not the hero Cordelia seems determined to make him.

When the Confederacy deems Savannah a lost  cause and the future wavers, Phin and Delia must both decide where the dreams of a new America will take them - and if they will go there together.
