A Rose for William Carter

Gerald Harding Gunn, in A Rose for William Carter, tells a different story about the American Civil War. The South's Cavaliers, its pillared plantations, its slaves and gracious, well-mannered aristocracy will not be found here. Instead the reader will discover a story of enduring love...love stronger than death, in the daughter of a Yankee railroad worker come south, who is drawn to her husband's young cousin. It is the story of how an erroneous battle report became history and how 21st Century history professor William Carter and the woman he loves uncover the truth, contained in the travel trunk he inherits from his beloved Aunt Cille.
