Echoes From The Mist
Dody Myers
A book about a family after the Civil War.
A town and a nation rise from the ashes of the Civil War.
Ford McKenzie, a Southern Captain during the Civil War, has returned to Chambersburg, the only Northern town burned by the Confederates, to marry a local girl, Abby Kennedy. Here, they struggle with the psychological impact of the war upon their personal lives.
Coping with grief inflicted by disease, murder and infidelity, tension heightens as the local railroad, represented by Abby's brother-in-law, attempts to run tracks through the heart of the McKenzie farm.
Amanda, the illegitimate daughter of Abby's sister, and Michael, Ford's half-breed son, fall in love. Their blossoming romance is interrupted when Amanda enters Wilson College and Michael searches for his heritage in the South.
