Our Common Ties
Van Hazinga, Cynthia
In a nation struggling to survive the overwhelming might of the British assault, the Montgomery, Logan, and Whitestone families find the ties of love, marriage, and friendship threatened by the harsh realities of war. Their disparate loyalties bring them into painful conflict with one another as the Revolutionary War sweeps across the South, and battle-weary American troops face their greatest challenge.

At Ashley Hall plantation, Liza Montgomery attempts to hold her family together as the British invade, but a lover from her past tests her loyalties and places them all in danger. In Charleston, Susannah Montgomery weathers the grim siege of the city while her willful sister-in-law Katy risks the wrath of her Patriot family by fraternizing with the occupying Tories - including New Yorker Josias Logan a representative of His Majesty's government. Adn brothers Davie and Taylor Montgomery find themselves fighting on opposite sides in the bloody battles that will determine not only the course of the entire war, but the fate of a nation.
