The Unfinished Work

It's June 1863 and Confederate troops have invaded Pennsylvania intent on winning their second War of Independence. Young Jake must choose: fight for Southern freedom and earn the love of his Virginia belle, or defend his home and fight to end slavery. His decision puts him front and center at several pivotal events in the Gettysburg Campaign, where he discovers his ultimate call is to an even higher duty.

Like Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels, The Unfinished Work features vivid, eyewitness accounts of participants on both sides of the battle lines. Similar to Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, Eliza, a pampered Southern belle, must cope with the life-changing consequences of the war and watch her lover go off to join the fight — all while dealing with the most unexpected rival for his affections: her sister, Kathleen.
