She and her husband\, Ennis\, have built a modest but happy life for themselves\, raising two sons\, fifteen-year-old Henry\, and eleven-year-old Robert\, on a small subsistence farm in rural North Carolina\, growing what they need to feed their family and livestock.

This opinion is not favored by many in their Confederate state including Joetta's own father-in-law. As the country becomes further entangled in the ramifications of war\, Joetta finds herself increasingly at odds with the townspeople\, her friends\, and even her family\, until finally\, one reckless choice proves to impact the McBrides in ways unforeseen to all.
