Daniel Patterson was a civilian prisoner captured by Confederate Commander John Mosby and held hostage at Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia as a future exchange. Within two months, a life-threatening illness strikes Daniel, yet he recovers only to be sent to Salisbury Prison in North Carolina.

A thunderous, stormy night in autumn of 1862 distracts the guards as Daniel escapes out a prison window and over a ten-foot fence. He walks at night, four-hundred miles north to Union lines and returns home to his wife in New Hampshire. Weak. Carrying the burden of trauma and the miracle of reaching freedom, alone but not alone.

A changed man, Daniel finds a changed wife. In his absence, Mary met Doctor Phineas Quimby, a metaphysician who treated her spinal and emotional problems with significant success, through mind-cure.

The next ten years of their marriage, Daniel reestablishes himself as an expert dentist.

Mary studies and teaches the healing effects of mind-power and she divorces Daniel, after twenty years of marriage. But an invisible energy of love keeps Daniel and his ex-wife, Mary Baker Eddy, connected for another twenty years as she starts a church that gains a large following.
