Carrie's Hired Hand

A widow fights Confederate soldiers to save her hired man and her husband's honor in this Civil War novella.

Carrie Wilkes can't understand why Robert Salinger says he blames himself for her husband Ben's death. He swears he will look after Carrie and the children, but they go home from the funeral alone.

Things look better after that deaf and dumb stranger, Robbie, hires on. But when he discovers Carrie's shameful secret will he be able to help with more than just farm chores? Or does he have a secret of his own that brings Confederate soldiers storming onto her farm with accusations of spying leveled at her dead husband?
