Noble Cause

Honor and conviction clash with loyalty and love in this epic Civil War novel that pits brother against brother. Winner of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction, Noble Cause chronicles the clash of a Confederate cavalry officer with a Union spy as they defend their beliefs, their country, and their honor.

Gallantry and chivalry are put to the test when Colonel Alexander Hunter discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he will protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy. Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the fates of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever.

Called “a riveting piece of historical fiction” by the Midwest Book Review and often compared to Gone with the Wind, Noble Cause takes readers across the rolling hills of Virginia in a page-turning tale of courage and love.

Originally published as Shades of Gray, this novel is the winner of multiple national literary awards.
