"Lover against lover, sister against sister, brother against brother—the bloody conflict that tore a great nation apart."
— Hearts Divided, Paula Moore
Some finds speak louder than their covers—and Hearts Divided by Paula Moore is one of them. This vintage paperback, published by Dell in 1979, is the fifth installment in the Making of America series. It’s a historical romance set against the backdrop of the Civil War, where love and loyalty are tested in the most turbulent of times.
The cover art alone tells a story: a soldier in uniform, a woman in period dress, and a flag-raising scene that evokes patriotism and sacrifice. Inside, the narrative unfolds with emotional depth, capturing the heartbreak and division of a nation at war.
This particular copy shows its age with yellowed pages and visible wear to the cover—but that’s part of its charm. It’s a survivor of decades past, still intact and ready to be rediscovered by a new reader or collector.
Whether you're drawn to Civil War fiction, vintage paperbacks, or the romance of historical storytelling, Hearts Divided is a compelling piece of literary Americana.
