In 1861 a great conflict looms on the horizon. Thirteen states have seceded from the Federal Union. The Civil War has begun. In the peaceful South Carolina countryside, the Pearce family is caught in the conflict. The father and eldest son enlist in the new Confederate army, leaving the younger son to take care of his family. The grief-stricken Mrs. Pearce discovers that this son, despite his father's orders, also yearns to put on a Confederate uniform and march off to battle. How should peace-loving people react to a war that sends thousands to the grave and divides families across battle lines? Will they choose forgiveness or bitterness? And will they ultimately experience Jesus' greatest commandment, love? Hannah Reeves uses one of the most interesting historical periods as a backdrop for her moving story of a family's struggles as war threatens to engulf them.
