Coming Soon - Cannons & Corsets
Cannons and Corsets
Prelude is an event leading up to the introduction of something more important.
Their lives as they knew it were the prelude leading up to what they wanted to recapture as days gone by were only a memory faded by time and tragedies.
Joseph Truth is one of the wealthiest plantation owners in the South. He struggles with what is right for him and what is right for the South as a whole. He has eight sons who are of age to fight a war he wants no part of.
Raven Truth, Joseph’s only daughter.
Abolitionist. Free thinking woman. Intelligent. High-spirited. A rarity in a Southern gentlewoman. She may not believe in the institution of slavery but her men are fighting this cause for the Confederacy. She can’t turn her back on them. They are her father, brothers, friends and husband. She’ll do her part for the Confederacy even if it is a cause she doesn’t believe in.
Ransom and Robert Grant, no relation to the General; two Union soldiers. Torn between loyalty to their northern roots and the Southern women they love. They become ingrained in the Southern Truth family. During the war and in the Reconstruction of the South.
The Truths and their lifelong friends work hard and they play hard. Their lives as they know it having balls and backyard barbeques are a thing of the past. The bloody war is on their doorstep. Always threatening just close enough they can never have peace until Lee surrenders at Appomattox in 1865.
Then most of the men come home.
Their lives will never be the same as it once was. Those days are days gone by. Now is the time to rebuild what they can with only their hope and their faith when nothing exists but reconstruction, destruction and corruption.
