Torn Between Two Lovers:
A Civil War Romance
by
Louise Hathaway
My historical romance novel entitled “Torn Between Two
Lovers: A Civil War Romance” is loosely inspired by the story of my husband’s great-grandfather
who fought in the Civil War and barely survived after the steamboat he was on
exploded from a boiler accident on board. The accident was the worst maritime accident
in US History. Thousands died in the accident. The steamboat was called The
Sultana. My husband’s great-grandfather was thrown off the steamboat into the
Mississippi River. As luck would have it, he landed on a coil of rope that was
floating on the river. After he came home from the war, he became a doctor and
had several descendants, including my husband’s grandmother.
In my novel, “Torn Between Two Lovers: A Civil War Romance,” my
husband’s grandmother inspired my main female character. I took some artistic
liberties with her story in my novel.
My novel is about a young woman who lives near Memphis and
has just lost her husband in the war.
When the story opens, she is so distraught that she tries to drown
herself in the Mississippi River. She almost succeeds but is stopped in her
tracks when she sees a man lying on a coil of rope that is floating in the river.
He is barely conscious, and she takes him home and tries to
help him survive and ultimately ends up saving his life.
His condition worsens and she takes him to the hospital. While
he’s recovering, he almost dies in the hospital, and she ends up falling in
love with his good-looking and wealthy young doctor.
She loves both men equally. Which man will she choose to
marry?
