Amid war and the fading dream of the Confederacy, a
wounded soldier and a destitute widow discover the true
meaning of Christmas - and of sacrificial love. Recently widowed, Aletta Prescott struggles to hold life
together for herself and her six-year old son. With the
bank threatening to evict, she discovers an advertisement
for the Women's Relief Society auction and applies for a
position - only to discover it's been filled. Then a
chance meeting with a wounded soldier offers another
opportunity - and friendship. But can Aletta trust this
man? Captain Jake Winston, a revered Confederate sharpshooter,
suffered a head wound at the Battle of Chickamauga. When
doctors deliver their diagnosis, Jake fears losing not
only his greatest skill but his very identity. As he
heals, Jake is ordered to assist with a local Women's
Relief Society auction. He respectfully objects.
Kowtowing to a bunch of "crinolines" isn't his idea of
soldiering. But orders are orders, and he soon discovers
this group of ladies - one, in particular - is far more
than he bargained for. Set against the backdrop and history of the Carnton
Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee, Christmas at Carnton
is a story of hope renewed and faith restored at
Christmas.
