Expecting to be the Harding's head housekeeper, Olivia is disillusioned when she learns the real reason Elizabeth's husband, Confederate General William Giles Harding, agreed to her coming. Not finding the safe haven she expects, Olivia is caught off guard by her feelings for Ridley Adam Cooper, a Southern man who seems anythingbuta Southern gentleman.Branded a traitor by some, Ridley Cooper, a Southern son who chose to fight for the Union, is a man desperate to end the war still raging inside him. Determined to learn "the gift" that Belle Meade's head horse trainer and former slave, Bob Green, possesses, Ridley harbors secrets that threaten both their lives.As Ridley seeks to make peace within himself for "betraying" the South he loved, Olivia is determined to never be betrayed again.Set at Nashville's historic Belle Meade Plantation, the most influential thoroughbred stud farm in America's history, To Whisper Her Name weaves the struggles of real people of the post-war South with the journeys of a man and a woman scarred by betrayal.Special $4.99 ebook pricing available ONLY on PRE-orders.

Powerful. Stirring. Written on my heart for all time."~ Cindy Woodsmall,NYTbest-selling author of Sisters of the Quilt seriesFrom the AuthorMost of this novel is fictional, though there are threads of actual history and people woven throughout. For instance, there really is a Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville that still welcomes visitors today. The Harding family, characters inTo Whisper Her Name, lived at Belle Meade and many of the events included in this story were drawn from their personal history and were then fleshed out in my imagination.In addition to the Harding family, many of the former slaves who served at Belle Meade inspired characters of this story--Robert Green, Susanna Carter, and many others. In nearly every instance, I used the real names of the former slaves and the positions they held at Belle Meade. However, the characters' personalities and actions are of my creation and should be construed as such.After two years of research and writingTo Whisper Her Name, I invite you to join me on yet another journey into the postbellum world of Nashville, Tennessee. Thank you, faithful readers, for entrusting your time to me. It's a weighty investment that I treasure and will never take for granted.Warmly,TameraWatch six 2-minute video vignettes filmed on location at Belle Meade Plantation on my Amazon Author Centrals site by clicking my name on the main title page forTo Whisper Her Name.
