Her father and one of her brothers, Andrew, are fighting for the South, while her oldest brother, Jonathan, is fighting for the North. What will happen to everyone? Will her family men come home? Will she ever find love? Will this war ever be over? Follow Bella and her family through their days on the plantation and the days after the war.
