It is 1844 when Alabama-born Rose begins writing a journal. She
has just reluctantly agreed to marry Nathan Flowers. The years
pass, and together Rose and Nathan have five children. A Chickasaw
couple, kin to Nathan by marriage, lives with them and helps Rose
settle in and raise a family.
Rose, Nathan, and their five children could have lived happily
ever after--but then came the War Between the States. The North and
South found themselves divided and Rose is pained when two of her
children join the Union, while two others join the Confederacy. Her
journal keeps her grounded; if she continues to write, perhaps she
can make sense of what's happening.
Living a normal life during the Civil War is impossible, but
Rose does her best to keep calm and care for the remaining members
of her family. When the war is over America must rebuild and life
is still not easy in the South. The war was difficult for the
nation, but it was also hard on individual families. This is the
story of one such family, who struggled to love each other despite
differing beliefs.
