Description for DEADLY ANGEL by Kristi Holl: A Union soldier is shot and then held as a suspected deserter during the Civil War. A wife, desperate to reach her husband and prove that he's not guilty of wartime treason, leavers her two young children in the care of a friend to take a position as a nurse in the Nation's capital. There her life will cross paths with an American literary icon. Bo how do these evens, 150 years in the past, tie in with Sofia Parker in modern-day Cabot Falls, Vermont? Perhaps the priceless heirloom quilt bequeathed to her by her grandmother holds the link. But even as Sofia attempts to track down the connection to the historic period in our nation's history, she finds herself coincidentally helping with a Civil War reenactment near St Albas, Vermont, site of the war's northernmost land action. Sofia's fledgling catering business has been contracted to recreate a tea at the event. But the festive affair turns sinister when Sofia's son Matthew goes missing and is apparently abducted. Back in 1862, young Phoebe Ashford also has a deadly mystery to solve. Her husband, George, is hovering at the brink of death. Even if he recovers, the evidence says George is guilty of desertion under fire. Unless Phoebe can find evidence to the contrary, he will face a firing squad as soon as he can leave the makeshift hospital. Sofia has little time to contemplate the plight of the Ashfords as she and her husband frantically search for Matthew, but the clues to his disappearance are few. Despite the grim odds, she must push forward in hope and faith that she will find her youngest child before it is too late. This is #7 in Annie's Secrets Of The Quilt Series.
