Love And War: The Coltrane Saga, Book 1 (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
It was late August, so hot in Richmond that every stitch she wore was soaked with perspiration. The room was stuffy, the air musty and close. How long had she been a prisoner there? She had lost count of the days. Or had it been weeks? Travis had deposited her there, placed a guard outside the door. A tray of food was brought to her twice a day, her chamber pot removed, cleaned, returned. No one stayed long enough for conversation. Straining her eyes against the glaring noonday sun, she could see the street clock in front of the jewelry store. Back in Goldsboro, there had been a similar clock in front of Gidden’s, but this was a larger store. Probably there were thousands and thousands of dollars in merchandise on display in the big glass window. Her gaze moving over the crowds in the streets, it was obvious that there were many men about who could afford to shop at that store. She’d heard some of the soldiers talking on the ride into town about the huge amounts of money circulating thanks to the army and the war and the trading in sugar, medicines, coffee, and tea.
