Synopsis

Cordelia Owens can weave a hopeful dream around anything and is well used to winning the hearts of everyone in Savannah with her whimsy. Even when she receives word that her sweetheart has been lost during a raid on a Yankee vessel, she clings to hope and comes up with many a romantic tale of his eventual homecoming to reassure his mother and sister.

But Phineas Dunn finds nothing redemptive in the first horrors of war. Struggling for months to make it home alive, he returns to Savannah injured and cynical, and all too sure that he is not the hero Cordelia seems determined to make him. Matters of black and white don't seem so simple anymore to Phin, and despite her best efforts, Delia's smiles can't erase all the complications in his life. And when Fort Pulaski falls and the future wavers, they both must decide where the dreams of a new America will take them, and if they will go together.

White's works are like the finest tapestry's, the words are woven together so seamlessly. It takes a talented author that can write about more than one time period so effortlessly.

Goodreads review by Amanda (BookLoverAmanda) on July 25, 2022

3.5 stars Dreams of Savannah is a well written novel set in the Civil War time period. While I found myself loving the Southern setting and most of the characters, I never felt attachment to our main character, Cordelia and felt the book itself was a bit too long. I enjoyed some things and was not en......more
