From the Back Cover:

From America's master storyteller and writer of historical fiction comes the continuing saga of two families -- the Hazards and the Mains. From the first shots at Fort Sumter, both families are divided against each other -- and themselves. Some would experience the horrors of war on the front lines on some of the bloodiest battlefields of the Civil War....Some would give their lives for their beliefs....But all would be caught in the triumph and tragedy of a conflict that destroyed a country's innocence -- and forged a nation.
