Freedom's Banner

Mattie Henderson is the first to admit that she's no fragile, fashionable beauty.

Yet charming Johnny Sherwood whisks her away from the genteel delights of Bath Society to make her his bride, and takes her to his family home in Georgia.

Bewitched by the American South, Mattie is slow to notice the conflicts building between South and North, and between herself and her new family.

Neither Johnny nor Mattie can anticipate the devastation of the impending civil war.
