Description
This fictional story follows the lives of several young people just starting in adult life as the War Between the States begins. Its focus is on a young man who is helpful in this small town and how his life gets changed by events not all of his making. He meets and marries a woman that loves him dearly. They have a great start in life and even have a son. Events preceding the war shape the future of this couple and their friends. They are thrown into the war and witness it's horror and endure the hardships of both the war and separation from loved ones. They must find the courage to stand tall even at the defeat of the South. Then they must face the biggest heartaches of all as they return to their homes. This is a story that one rarely finds written. It deals with the reality and hardships of war in which the reason is vague or unknown to those fighting it. Yet the fighting and dying go on. Seldom is the story told from that of young people in the South. This story shows that there were different shades of gray.
