Based on a true story, THE WIDOW OF THE SOUTH tells the stirring tale of a woman named Carrie McGavock, who is forever scarred by watching her two children die. — When the Civil War comes to her Tennessee town, Carrie helps care for the wounded Confederate soldiers who arrive there after a bloody battle. Later, when the bodies of the dead are in danger of being excavated, she establishes a Confederate cemetery at her plantation--an actual place, now restored--and becomes obsessed with the task of tending to it.

Told from multiple points of view, this is an epic tale of a catastrophic war, seen through the eyes of the ordinary people who were caught up in it.
