Virginia Hammond was the Belle of Valcour Island. The spoiled, beautiful daughter of her cotton-raising father -- enchanting with her beaux, harsh with her slaves and aflame with the rebel cause. But she was not the only daughter James Hammond had -- there was the quiet sister Nanine and Phoebe, the child of a light-skinned slave. Virgie burned with shame at the thought of Phoebe -- sweet-tempered and, except for her dark skin, enough like her to be her twin. Still it was a good world and safe until the Yankees invaded Valcour Island... woman-hungry men whose passion was as savage as the war that had split the country asunder... | Virginia Hammond was the Belle of Valcour Island.
