Synopsis: THE WAR HAS ENDED, BUT THEIR BATTLE HAS JUST BEGUN…
Nothing is impossible—as far as idealistic schoolteacher Verity Hardy is concerned.

An ex-Union captain, Matt has seen more than his share of destruction. And the threats he's getting about the school are almost enough to make him give up. But Verity's spirit and courage inspire him to fight once again for what he believes in—and to show her they can reach their dreams together….
