Above the Storm Marcella Dipaolo

Three brothers, John, Jackson and Jebidiah Morgan, joined the Union Army during the Civil War. All three were fighting in the same battle during which each was seriously wounded. Captured by the Confederates, they were to be sent to the prison in Andersonville. It meant almost certain death for all of them. Waiting to be transferred, they were tied to a tree when two Union sympathizers, a young white boy and a huge black man, discovered them and helped them escape. Because of them, their lives were spared, and they were given food, warm beds, and medical attention. Later they found out the young lad was not a boy at all, but a young beautiful woman, Teresa Kelly, instead. Above the Storm is the story of John Morgan and Teresa Kelly and how they helped them all to not only survive but to find love and happiness.
