Amazon Synopsis:
From the author of the best-selling novel, REDEMPTION:
The Further Adventures of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer comes MOLLY LEE.
Molly is about to set off on the adventure of a lifetime . . . of two lifetimes.
It’s 1861 and the Civil War has just started. Molly is an eighteen-year-old girl living on her family’s farm in Virginia when two deserters from the Southern Cause enter her life. One of them—a twenty-four-year-old Huck Finn—ends up saving her virtue, if not her life.
Molly is so enamored with Huck, she wants to run away with him. But Huck has other plans and is gone the next morning before she awakens. Thus starts a sequence of events that leads Molly into adventure after adventure; most of them not so nice.
We follow the travails of Molly Lee, starting when she is eighteen and ending when she is fifty-six. Even then Life has one more surprise in store for her.

Excerpt:
I first saw him in the
light of the setting sun. He sat straight and proud astride a chestnut mare,
handsome in his grey lieutenant’s uniform. He rode into the yard following my
pa who was driving the family wagon. In the back of the wagon lay the “Captain.”
We womenfolk have it
tougher than men when it comes to affairs of the heart. What you are about to
read is my story. It is not a pretty story, and I am not proud of it. I think
the only proud moment of my life was the day I met and fell in love with Huck
Finn.
