When a creative, introspective eighteen-year-old, newly engaged to his childhood sweetheart, is forced to serve in war, will he remain intact? Who will he be after three years of struggle, not only against an enemy force that includes his older brother, but against his very nature? Set in the mountains of western Virginia during the Civil War era, Madam’s Creek tells the story of Marcus Lilly and Maylene Farley, doing their best to cope with the madness of war in a region that is first part of the Confederacy, then part of fledgling West Virginia, a Union state. Pulled apart by the conflict, they must find ways to keep their love and hope alive amidst the avalanche of anxiety and loss the war brings. Finally united, they face an unexpected threat to their bond, and it can be resolved only through the revelation of a long-held secret. A secret held by someone neither Maylene nor Marcus ever considered.

In this suspenseful story of the late nineteenth century, Joseph Cook upends his life after the murder of his closest friend by a man who escapes justice. Leaving his thirty-year railroad career in mid-stride, he returns to the New River landscape of his Appalachian youth. There he hopes to buy a farm, reunite with what's left of his family, and find peace. An expert in bridge construction, Joseph finds the building of personal bridges surpasses his ability. His goals are further thwarted by unexpected obstacles and diverted by a reunion with a childhood friend who opens doors to pain and possibility. The novel explores the natural longing for peace, home, and family, a quest that ultimately forces Joseph to abandon his planned path and face daunting adversity. In doing so, he learns that justice and love denied can become justice and love delayed but finally won. Letting go of their pursuit may not equate with giving up.
