William Reynolds

Ruth Danson, a feisty seventeen-year-old Pennsylvania farm-girl abandons her family in the spring of 1863 to be with the man she loves, ninteen year old Willia Jay Lytell, a private with John Mosby's 43rd Battalion of Virginia Cavalry-- the famed Mosby's rangers. Through the lush panoramic beauaty of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and across vast expanse of war-ravaged Virginia, Li'l Bud thunders across the pages in a maelstrom of cannon smoke and musket fire. It is the heartbreaking story of sister against brother as Ruth rides against her brother David of the 116t Pennsylvania Infantry. Amidst the flames and anguished cries as the Shenandoah Valley burns from Union torches, Li'l Bud, with a pair of Colt.44s and her faithful chestnut filly, Princess, will let nothing stand i the way of love in the arms of William Jay.
