Craig Legacy, a cross-genre tale that is an historical, paranormal romance as well as a social commentary of the Civil War era in Virginia. It portrays a 21st Century woman's fight to remain true to herself and her mission of saving a Confederate Colonel from murder in 1864. Frankie Matthews is a whiz with numbers and money while an abysmal failure at domestic duties, including but not limited to cooking. Stranded in the past with no e-mail, electricity or indoor plumbing, she discovers the agony of manual labor. Equally ?a fish out of water?, Confederate Colonel Ben Craig would prefer to write, but as the eldest son is expected to take over the family business. Craig Legacy accurately depicts history. The story is set just after the defeat of Union troops in the Battle of the Wilderness. These troops and deserters have regrouped and are advancing into Southern territory. As they near Richmond, they gain strength. Frankie knows the outcome of the war and South's financial future. In an attempt to save the family, she forgets about time paradoxes and warns the family patriarch, explaining what he must do to save his home and wealth.
