Empty Fields: A Civil War-Era Saga of the Hundley Evatt Family
South Carolina, 1852.
Eighty-year-old Hundley Evatt knows his time is running out. His will is meant to keep the family together. Instead, it becomes the beginning of new conflicts.
As political tensions divide the nation and whispers of secession spread across the South, the Evatt family faces struggles of its inheritance disputes, old grievances, unexpected tragedies, and the looming threat of war.
Told through the eyes of Martha Adams, a neighbor and lifelong friend, Empty Fields follows one Upcountry South Carolina family through the final years before the Civil War and the devastating changes that follow.
Inspired by real ancestors and reconstructed from original wills, probate records, inventories, military records, and family documents, Empty Fields blends historical fiction with authentic family history to tell a story of love, loss, loyalty, and survival.
