Set in Northern Virginia in the 1860’s, this epic tale weaves the lives
and times of a spirited, southern spy who believes she is just in aiding
the "cause", despite her attraction to a Union major that suspects her
of espionage.
Rebel Dove, is more than a title; it is a symbolic depiction of the most
turbulent time in our nation’s history. It is particularly symbolic of the
dove is soft and gentle, but it is also considered a symbol of nobility in
many cultures.
Elise Hamilton, the main character, is a spirited Southern belle who,
like the dove, appears soft and gentle on the surface, but has
remarkable courage and nobility as she conspires against the
changes imposed upon the Southern way of life. She fights to
preserve a tradition within which she was born and raised and to which
she feels an unshakable loyalty. Regardless of how we may judge her
from today’s standards, Elise symbolizes the grit and determination to
stand up against what she feels is an intolerable suppression of the
South’s sovereignty by unwelcome and arrogant strangers from the
North.
Rebel Dove touches on the theme of suppression of one group over
another; the North over the South, the slave owner over the slave,
white over black, and man over woman. As in life, the roles of the
characters in the book are not limited to one simple category; they are
braided and bound by the intricate weave of them all. The story begins
in late spring of 1861, an explosive period of our nation’s past, when
the looming presence of war was finally inevitable.

As you read, you will discover how the small community of Fairfax, Virginia—just twenty-six miles from the Union capital of
Washington—must come to terms with occupation by those they consider “the enemy”. The tension for everyone is
immense, especially the citizens of Fairfax, who continue their march toward secession, despite the close quarters of the
federal government and the occupying Union Army.
Elise Hamilton, undaunted by the presence of Union soldiers, does not hesitate to use her feminine wiles to gather
information to pass on to the Confederate Army. Sure of herself and the righteousness of the Plantation Economy, she
vows to fight the Union Army and the Abolitionists to preserve the Southern way of life. That is, until sudden twists of fate
conspire to make her see the error of her ways, and in so doing, transforms the Rebel into a Dove.
Though it may seem that the characters are real figures plucked from the pages of history, Rebel Dove is historical fiction.
It is intended for entertainment purposes only. Resemblance to any individual, past or present, is entirely coincidental. A
tremendous amount of information about the workings of the Civil War has been included in the story to support the
integrity and enrichment of the tale.
