Torn in their alliances, yet as devoted as sisters, each girl finds herself grappling with the senseless brutality of war, and the sacrifices that must be made in order to survive. It will take one of the war’s bloodiest battles – fought on the farmlands of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania – to bring them together again.
