Historical Fiction
Date Published: July 24th, 2025
Publisher: Acorn Publishing
What’s left of a man’s soul when everything he loves is taken
from him?
It’s 1864, and Gabriel Cooper couldn’t care less about the
civil war raging around him. Framed for crimes he didn’t commit,
he’s been sentenced to a Confederate chain gang, where swampland
justice rules and alligators prey on the unwary.
So when Colonel Robert Tremont rides into camp offering freedom in exchange
for fighting on the front lines, Gabriel jumps at the opportunity. He
thrives as a soldier, but the end of the war leaves him adrift.
Gabriel ends up in New Orleans, where he meets Simone Livingston, a
fiercely independent woman with hidden scars of her own. Kept on a tight
rein by her overbearing father, Simone only wants freedom—and the
enigmatic Gabriel.
But Gabriel has unfinished business and a mind for vengeance. Will he be
able to create a peaceful life with Simone or will his greed and thirst for
retribution keep them trapped in a dangerous web of deceit—a web
Gabriel fears can only be untangled with murder.
About the Author
As the quintessential queen of “what if,” Jean Kravitz
channeled her active imagination to pen her debut novel, Scars of Sand and
Soil. However, achieving her childhood dream of being a published writer was
not a straightforward path.
Jean earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s
degree in human development and aging from the University of California, San
Francisco. She went into clinical research in pharmaceuticals, but left her
career when her children were born. Then, she picked up writing again, honed
her craft, published articles in a small newspaper, and passionately
immersed herself in historical research.
Jean has many interests, including reading, gardening, needlepoint, and
learning new languages. She lives in Southern California and has a husband,
two daughters, and two cats, Lenny and Penny.
