Coming soon, a continuation of the story which began with the series, MY BROTHER'S FLAG: FROM FIELDS OF PROMISE Belonging neither to the South where its sympathies lay, nor to the North which held it captive, Maryland’s Eastern Shore forges a new path through the havoc left by the Civil War. Mariah Wright, a Confederate widow, must find a way to keep her husband’s farm from falling into poverty and ruin. Most of the former slaves have headed north to freedom, and there aren’t enough hands to work the fields. Left with the care of her aging mother-in-law and young sister-in-law, Mariah strives to carry the burdens the war has left her. Isaac Roberts, a veteran of the Confederate Army, returned from Appomattox to discover that the life he’d dreamed of coming home to is gone forever. |
As the fractured nation struggles to come together after four bitter years of fighting, Mariah and Isaac must find their place in a world which has changed forever.
