Historical
In 1894 Carrie McGavock is an old woman, an old woman who
has only her former slave to keep her company...along with
the almost 1,500 soldiers buried in her backyard. Years
ago, rather than let someone plow over the field where
these young men had been buried, Carrie dug them up and
buried them in her own personal cemetery. Now, as she walks
the rows of the dead, an old soldier appears. It is the man
she met that day of the battle that changed everything. The
man who came to her house as a wounded soldier and left
with her heart. He asks if the cemetery has room for one
more.
