A nation on the brink

Inspired by true accounts, a vivid look at the Civil War experience.

Georgey Woolsey isn’t meant for lavish parties and the demure attitudes of women of her stature. When war ignites the nation, Georgey takes her passion for nursing to the battlefront.

In the South, Jemma and her family are enslaved on the Peeler Plantation, living in fear of an abusive overseer who tracks their every move. When Jemma is sold at the same time the Union army comes through, she sees a chance to finally escape--but only by abandoning the family she loves.

Left behind to run Peeler Plantation, Anne-Marie uses the opportunity to follow her own ambitions and is drawn into a secret Southern network of spies, finally exposing herself to the fate she deserves.
