Filtered Through Time

A woman searches, at dusk, through the mud and carnage of Nashville's Peach Blossom Hill, for her dead or wounded mate. Children encounter the ghost of a long-dead slave who wants their family to assume guardianship of the Underground Railroad depot on their newly purchased property. A poet offers speculation about Lincoln's thoughts as he prepared to deliver his Gettysburg Address. This anthology of works by both emerging and seasoned writers gathers fresh, insightful poetry and fiction in recalling the defining and costly American Civil War one hundred and fifty years later. "We are left," Gale Buntin Haddock writes, "with remnants, tattered incomplete shreds of what took place at that time." It is compelling reading! (Nancy Ray, Nashville, TN)
