Set in the 1000 Islands, this suspense novel captures the Civil War through the voices of a young Irish immigrant and a Confederate spy. Far from the battlefields, a web of espionage threatens to destroy them both.
Isolated, lonely, Anya lives on Grindstone Island, struggling to survive on her own, awaiting the return of her brother who enlisted in the Union Army. Douglas is on the run, a Confederate spy accused of betraying his comrades after the failed attempt to bomb New York City. GRINDSTONE is based on historical accounts of the Confederate spy ring based in Canada, as well as the journals of Irish immigrants arriving in the States in the aftermath of the famine.
