He left to join the war while she fought the one in her heart…

In 1863, the beautiful Southern belle, Christy Mayfield, wrestles with her heart as her once peaceful world is ravaged by bloodshed. Raised in a world of innocence and propriety, her life takes a turn with the arrival of Trenton McLain. While Trenton appears to be a Southern gentleman, he is tainted by the sins of his parents, but Christy chooses to accept him for who he is. As their romance blossoms, the borders become threatened, causing Trenton to enlist.

Levi McLain, Trenton’s bashful and awkward cousin, has loved Christy since the days of their youth, though she only sees him as a friend. When Trenton rides off to battle, Levi sees an opportunity to win her heart. That is, if it’s not too late.

As the war threatens to demolish Christy’s world, she must reconcile her fading innocence with the harsh realities she now faces. Desperate to save her family’s home, she is put into a position of pondering Levi’s offer for a marriage of convenience. The echoes of war reach further than the battlefield, striking deep into the heart of love and loyalty.

Abide with Me is a heart-wrenching story about self-sacrifice, love, passion, truth, and unwavering faith—a poignant reminder of God’s promises to abide with us through the most unsettling times.
