Summary
Based on a true story, this debut Civil War novel follows a Southern plantation woman's journey of transforming her home into a hospital for the war.
This debut novel is based on the true story of Carrie McGavock. During the Civil War's Battle of Franklin, a five-hour bloodbath with 9,200 casualties, McGavock's home was turned into a field hospital where four generals died. For 40 years she tended the private cemetery on her property where more than 1,000 were laid to rest.

Well done book with multiple narrators... It was difficult to hear the N word often, but the word was unfortunately actually used in real life during the time period of this book.

This is a good book. It’s heavy and sometimes hard to read for an empath. It helps the reader see how awful war is and how hard the times were. Interesting stories of the characters. I recommend it, but not from faint of heart.
