A young Confederate refugee family forges a path through war, loss, and hopeful reunions.
Set in the midst of the Civil War, this story follows a Mississippi-Iowa line of refugees as they travel toward safety with a close-knit clan. The journey blends vivid early-war scenes with intimate moments of family bonds, courage, and hopeful love. Readers meet children, a devoted grandfather, a devoted preacher, and a few surprising reunions that remind us how people cling to home and one another when war upends everything.
Centered on warm, resilient families and the people who help them, the book explores themes of defeat, endurance, and quiet grace. It shows how ordinary moments—a ride through the woods, a shared blackberry breakfast, a guarded glance—grow into lasting memories amid hardship. The narrative weaves history and heart, inviting readers to feel the weight of loss and the glow of renewed connection.
Ideal for readers of Civil War-era family sagas and stories that emphasize resilience, memory, and the small miracles that sustain us in hard times.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the American South on the eve of the Civil War. The author paints a vivid picture of life on a Mississippi plantation, where wealthy landowners, like Mr. Claiborne, live a life of comfort and leisure. The story unfolds through the eyes of a young girl, Peachie, as she experiences the joys and challenges of growing up in a world on the brink of upheaval. The arrival of war casts a long shadow over the plantation, bringing with it the anxieties of conflict, the threat of invasion, and the growing awareness of societal change. We see the impact of the war on the lives of all those involved, from the wealthy planters and their families, to the enslaved people who work the land. The author explores themes of love, loss, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships in the face of profound historical upheaval. This powerful and moving story offers a unique perspective on the human cost of the Civil War and the enduring power of hope and resilience in times of great change.
