Story: The four Markland brothers of East Tennessee—arrogant, headstrong, and cavalier—came home from the War to face the bitter knowledge of defeat. For the three brothers who had fought and bled for the Confederacy, the defeat was of their cause and their way of life.

But for William, the renegade who had enlisted in the Union Army, defeat had a subtler meaning. Garrisoned in his own home town, he had to face the task of trying to help a family suddenly poverty-stricken and lost in a world they never made—a world of carpetbaggers. Yet his own family would not recognize him, nor mention his name except in hate.

A conflict of loyalty underlies this story of how each of these people faces the challenge of building a new life on the ashes of the old and reaffirming the ties of family pride and family loyalty.

Research into Southern history has interested her for many years. AFTER THE GLORY, which deals with the reconstruction period in Tennessee, is a result of her knowledge and affection for this period.

This book will be shipped in padded envelope for $4.00.
