Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My favorite way to learn about history is from good fiction. THE ROAD FROM CHAPEL HILL, sure does fill the bill. Ms. Scott whisked me away to that tense period of the Civil War, when so many lives were wrecked and so many hearts broken. The main characters, socialite Eugenia, now destitute, Tom the runaway slave seeking true freedom, and the wounded Clyde, the farm boy must make life changing and heroic decisions, and while they fit so well into their time period, the reader can see the problems they face are universal and always relevant. For a peek into history while meeting unforgettable characters, I recommend this fascinating book. I, for one, couldn't put it down.

An unforgettable epic novel of the Civil War South from an award-winning author. From Joanna Catherine Scott comes a sweeping tale of the Civil War, unique in its perspective and exquisitely woven, in which three young Southerners worlds apart are joined in a quest for something greater than themselves. Eugenia Mae Spotswood, the daughter of a failed aristocrat, longs to regain the life she lost. The slave Tom wants one thing: freedom. After becoming the property of Eugenia Mae, a dangerous affection grows. But he learns freedom is not something she can give him-he must fight for it himself. Clyde Bricket, the farm boy responsible for Tom's capture, has always believed in the South. But he soon learns that sometimes the only way to redeem yourself is to fight against everything he thought he believed in.
