June, 1863. Confederate troops invade Pennsylvania intent on winning their 2nd War of Independence. Young Jake Becker 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 "The Killer Angels," "The Unfinished Work" features vivid, eyewitness accounts of participants on both sides of the battle lines. As in "Gone with the Wind," Eliza, a pampered southern belle, must cope with the life-changing consequences of the war, watch her lover go off to join the fight, and deal with the most unexpected rival for his affections - her sister, Kathleen.
