IF I GO
Eleanor Davis and Fred Jackson grew up side by side, bound by childhood friendship and an unspoken promise—until war and family tear them apart. Left behind in the South, Eleanor struggles against the expectations forced upon her, while Fred fights for a cause that puts them on opposite sides of a divided nation.
In the midst of the Civil War, Eleanor faces heartbreak, betrayal, and the weight of impossible choices. When fate brings Fred back into her life, their love is undeniable—but so are the forces threatening to keep them apart.
Spanning years of loss, resilience, and the enduring power of love, IF I GO is a sweeping historical romance set against the backdrop of a nation at war.
