Good historical fiction, based in the civil war era. The story is based on Carnton Plantation in Franklin, TN. The battle of Franklin took place on this property and the McGavok family buried over 1,500 confederate soldiers and maintained the cemetary until their death. I don't think this novel was as good as it could have been.
