The Reunion Tim Nichols

John McMorrow, a young philosophy professor from Clarksburg, Virginia, abandons his home and position to fight for the Union during the Civil War. He leaves behind a budding love affair with Anna Lee Stone-and a father whose sympathies are firmly entrenched with the Confederacy. He marches off to battle, his moral values tested by fire, while those at home face the monumental struggles of war's harsh reality. John's circle of intimate friends is forever changed by time, difficult choices, enormous struggles, harrowing adventures, and extraordinary experiences. Old relationships are threatened when hostilities cease and men lay down their arms. Union soldiers return to the North as heroes, and former Confederates return to the Southern states, their tattered gray coats earning them the respect of virtually all their neighbors. But in embattled West Virginia, how do former enemies rebuild their shattered bonds? Will John and Anna Lee find the love they shared before the war?Intertwined with the real history of the 12th West Virginia Infantry, The Reunion captures the emotional struggles of those caught in the War Between the States.
