Historical Fiction
Tennessee Yankee
War was in the air! Southern sons were being called to defend their heritage, their way of life. Aaron Richardson could not answer that call. The son of a slave owner, Aaron was born to privilege on Calla, a beautiful plantation nestled into the rolling hills of Tennessee, but he
rejected both privilege and slavery.
Aaron did not believe one man should own another. He could not fight for the South as his father demanded, but could he fight for the North? Could he step into battle against his home, against his friends, against his family?
Finding love on both sides of the border, he struggled with his conscience as he avoided a conflict he believed was wrong. But the turbulent events of the time swept him into the war and changed his life forever. When the war was over, his personal war continued to rage until he had one final chance to save his world.
