From the back of the book:
"But the newspapers say it cannot last long, Papa, three months at most," Elsie interjected. "The newspapers are wrong," Horace replied forcefully. "This is American against American, and neither side will be easily defeated," Edward said. Sadly, Horace added, "We must prepare ourselves to wait out a long and bitter conflict. When we next see our homeland, all will be changed forever."
Elsie's life seems nearly perfect when she returns home from her honeymoon. But not even the true love of a husband and family can shelter her from the great upheaval that lies ahead. The Travillas and the Dinsmores are soon caught up in the bitter struggles between North and South. When the nation is torn apart, how will Elsie and her loved ones deal with its tragedies? Who will survive?
