Book
Where Honor Dwells
Rachel Franklin attempts to preserve personal honour and family loyalty as the Civil War places her among men and women who define duty in incompatible ways. Romance and suspicion develop while the Rocklin circle adjusts to casualty lists, shortages and the intrusion of military authority.
The novel examines honour as a spiritual and social obligation rather than a simple loyalty to one side. Its domestic story gives a civilian perspective on the war’s early years and the compromises demanded by a slaveholding society in crisis.
