A Balance of Destiny is a historical fiction novel written by Martha Jane Garvin and originally published in 1911. The story follows the life of a young woman named Mary Ware, who is the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner in the American South during the Civil War era. As the war rages on, Mary becomes increasingly involved in the conflict and must navigate the dangers and challenges of living in a divided society.Throughout the novel, Mary struggles to reconcile her loyalty to her family and her community with her growing awareness of the injustices and atrocities committed by the Confederacy. She forms close relationships with both Union and Confederate soldiers, and her experiences lead her to question the morality of the war itself.As the conflict comes to a close, Mary must make difficult choices about her future and the future of her family and community. A Balance of Destiny explores themes of loyalty, morality, and the impact of war on individuals and society. It provides a vivid and detailed portrait of life in the American South during one of the most tumultuous periods in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
