**Winter Statewide Serial Story**
It's 1864, and Betsy Harrington has one thing on her mind: Her older brother, Jim, a POW at the prison camp in Andersonville, Georgia. And life in Elmira offers few distractions, with the Union prison for Confederate soldiers right there in town. She can't understand why the war widow she works for and the former slave who is sexton of her church don't share her bitterness towards the rebel prisoners. That is not until the night Betsy is confronted with a young Southerner who shares her brother's intense desire to get home, and needs her help to do it.
