ABOUT THE CONFEDERATES' PHYSICIAN:
 
In 1863, the United States enters the third year of the Civil War. Young Samantha Carter, recently educated as a physician in Paris, defies her father, disguises herself as a boy, and runs away to enlist in the Union Medical Corps. She is soon captured by a Confederate patrol. The commanding officer, Major Ethan Winters-Hunt, discovers that the Yankee “boy” knows medicine and forces her to serve as a surgeon for the Confederate Army.

Samantha is unprepared for the horrors of battle, but she must maintain her disguise under rigorous conditions. She is loyal to the Union, and yet she must save the lives of enemy soldiers.

As Ethan takes Samantha from her first battlefield experience in Virginia to the defense of Atlanta, a tenuous friendship develops between them. Eventually, Samantha's identity as a young woman is discovered, and the friendship that Ethan and Samantha shared turns into a passionate love that is severely tested by deceit and betrayal as the nation rages in war.
