N2  - The American Civil War tore at the very roots of our nation and destroyed most of a generation. To truly understand the madness and despair of such a horrendous conflict one needs to pick a moment. Or see that war through one family's eyes. In rural Arkansas, such was the Hancocks. Devastated by a cruel war, they faced down their personal hells and in spite of it all survived. Their survival is a testament to the power of love ... and the American spirit. This is their story. And ours; 1860s. In rural Arkansas, the Hancocks-- three brothers and their sister-- do not believe in slavery, but believe in their farm, their land, and their family. As the war proceeds-- as the Hancocks are pulled into the conflicts-- they must face down their personal hells. Devastated by a war, having survived the atrocities, these ordinary people must continue to fight carpetbaggers, mental and physical breakdowns, madness and despair as they face the future. -- adapted from jacket and book text
