The civil war split the loyalties of many families. Sometimes it split the loyalties of a single person...

War was in the air! It moved through the south like molasses over a biscuit. When war came knocking on Tennessee's door, Aaron Richardson could not answer the call. The son of a slave owner, he was born to privilege on Calla, a beautiful plantation nestled into the rolling hills of his home state. But Aaron rejected both privilege and slavery.

Even though his father, Big Jim, arranged for his sons to be officers in the Confederate army, Aaron could not wear gray. Could he put on a blue uniform and step onto the battlefield against his home? Against fellow Southerners? Against his brother, Jim Jr.?

He fell in love with Deborah Harris, but her father violently and unjustly rejected him. Why? He did not understand. What he did understand was that he had to leave Tennessee. He had to get away from a cause he believed was wrong.

As Aaron roamed the north to avoid the conflict, he met Gertie Carlson and fell in love a second time. Now, not only was he torn between blue and gray, but he was also torn between two women.

Could he make a choice, or would they both be taken away from him? Before he could find the answer, the turbulent events of the times swept him onto the battlefield. He made an immediate difference. Aaron Richardson had the eye. But the harsh reality of battle ended his part all too soon.

As the war came to a close, the war inside Aaron continued to rage until there was only one chance to save his personal world. But could the Tennessee Yankee take that chance?
