This is the recent best seller, a fictionalized description of the Battle of Franklin (Tennessee) told from the perspective of Carrie McGavock (who actually lived in Franklin near the site of the battle). The first third of the book deals with the battle and is very hard to put down. After that, the author's plot becomes a bit contrived (to my taste). However, for a first effort, it's a very good read.
