From the publisher:
With his father dead and his business partner incapacitated, Peter Chandler inherits the leadership of a bank in economic crisis. With only a newly-minted college degree and little experience, Peter joins his partner’s daughter, Mary Beth Roper, in a struggle to keep C&R Bank afloat while the Civil War rages around Chattanooga. Political pressure for unsecured loans of gold to the government stirs up trouble as tempers and prices rise. Their problems multiply when Mary Beth discovers counterfeit money with Peter’s forged signature. Can they find the forger before the bank fails? The two friends must pursue gold on behalf of their business, as they learn to pursue their heavenly Father to find hope and peace

Having lived in Chattanooga I was excited to read this book and the time era. I was excited and really wanted to get into the book more than I did. Cynthia L Simmons does a good job at her research and will bring readers new insight and information into this time period.
I felt that the characters were hard to believe and really like. The dialogue seemed stifled a bit and I found myself skimming to get more into the story instead of enjoying character development and the story plot.
I received this book free from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
