Holly Springs, Mississippi, 1862
Hannah Green can't believe what happens to her family after the war
breaks out. First, her sister Joanna falls in love with a Union soldier
-- an enemy. Next, the same soldier tells Hannah and her family about
General Grant's General Order #11, which commands all Jews to evacuate
the territory for violating trade regulations. The Greens escape from
Holly Springs just before their home is destroyed. They lose everything
-- even their slaves, when Lincoln declares them free.
Now, because she is Jewish, Hannah cannot go home to Mississippi -- a
Confederate state that's dear to her heart. Confusion sets in. Who is on
her side, and whose side does she want to be on?
