Overview

Inspired by true events of the American Civil War, a moving, evocative tale of two sisters caught between the warring factions. 1864: As Sherman's army marches toward Atlanta, a cotton mill commandeered by the Confederacy lies in its path. Inside the mill, Clara Douglas weaves cloth and watches over her sister Kitty, waiting for the day her fianc� returns from the West. When Sherman's troops destroy the mill, Clara's plans to start a new life in Nebraska are threatened. Branded as traitors by the Federals, Clara, Kitty, and countless others are exiled to a desolate refugee prison hundreds of miles from home. Cut off from all they've ever known, Clara clings to hope while grappling with doubts about her fianc�'s ambitions and the unsettling truths surrounding his absence. As the days pass, the sisters find themselves thrust onto the foreign streets of Cincinnati, a city teeming with uncertainty and hostility. She must summon reserves of courage, ingenuity, and strength she didn't know she had if they are to survive in an unfamiliar, unwelcoming land.
