Apollonia weaves historic Civil War history into a tale that crosses multiple genres and takes on multiple perspectives. The protagonist, 21st century everyman Jonathan Chase, travels through time in search of a woman from 19th century Savannah, having fallen in love with her based on a faded photograph he finds in a long forgotten album.

As he accompanies Apollonia Foley on a long and mysterious journey replete with Confederate espionage, personal danger and the massive military campaigns of 1864 America, Jonathan becomes not only a witness to but a participant in the action. His struggles with the moral dilemmas of the times and the paradoxes and challenges of his own time displacement, provide the backdrop to a sweeping love story that blooms on the battlegrounds.
