Secession places the Mains and Hazards on opposing sides, transforming old friendships and marriages into potential evidence of betrayal. Family members serve in Confederate and Union armies, work inside Richmond and Washington, and confront the vulnerability of civilians, enslaved people and women whose lives are controlled by military decisions.
The narrative spans the war from First Bull Run through Antietam, Fredericksburg and the later campaigns towards surrender. Jakes combines battlefield action with political intrigue, prison, espionage and the changing possibilities created by emancipation. The families survive only by accepting that loyalty to a nation, a cause or a loved one can demand incompatible choices.
