The Morgan and Cooper families have been friends for generations, dating back to the little village of Edenford, England. But when the Morgan brothers—J.D., Marshall, and Willy—run slaves to freedom during a Cooper family visit, emotions erupt between the Northern Morgans and Southern Coopers.

Can this generation of Morgans survive the brutality and bitterness of a civil war as well as a ruthless personal vendetta?
