Opis

As days go by the lives they know and want to recapture become only a memory faded by time and tragedy. Joseph Truth is one of the wealthiest plantation owners in the South. He struggles with what is right for him and what is right for the South. He has eight sons who are of age to fight a war he wants no part of. Raven, Joseph's only daughter. Abolitionist. Free thinking woman. Intelligent and high-spirited. A rarity in a Southern woman. She may not believe in the institution of slavery but her men are fighting this cause for the Confederacy She can't turn her back on them. They are her father, brothers, friends and husband. She'll do her part for the men of the Confederacy not the Confederacy itself. Ransom and Robert Grant, no relation to the General; two Union officers who are torn between loyalty to their Northern roots and the Southern women they love. The Grants become ingrained in the Southern, Truth family. During the war and in the Reconstruction of the South. The Truths and their lifelong friends work hard and they play hard. Their lives as they know it; Balls and backyard barbecues are a thing of the past. The bloody war is on their doorstep. Always threatening just close enough they can never have peace. Their lives will never be what they once were even after Lee surrenders at Appomattox Courthouse. Those days are best forgotten. Now is the time to rebuild what they can with only their hope and their faith as nothing exists but destruction, corruption and reconstruction.
