Gerald Harding Gunn, in A Rose for William Carter, tells a
different story about the American Civil War. The South's
Cavaliers, its pillared plantations, its slaves and gracious,
well-mannered aristocracy will not be found here. Instead the
reader will discover a story of enduring love...love stronger than
death, in the daughter of a Yankee railroad worker come south, who
is drawn to her husband's young cousin. It is the story of how an
erroneous battle report became history and how 21st Century history
professor William Carter and the woman he loves uncover the truth,
contained in the travel trunk he inherits from his beloved Aunt
Cille. Gerald Harding Gunn, in his first major work of fiction,
blends the past with the present, with letters, hidden and waiting
to be revealed, written during the turbulence that swept across
North Georgia when Sherman marched south. A Rose for William Carter
presents the reader with the profoundly moving story of two young
lovers, Joanna and William Carter, who promise never to lose each
other as they are swept up in the fire of war that marches into
their North Georgia homeland, and face the bitterness and vengeance
of the murderous John Carter, William's cousin, and Joanna's
husband. The Civil War is a dramatic backdrop for a story of how
love overcomes hate, how that love, symbolized by Joanna's roses,
survives 150 years to reveal its power.
