O knihe

Sycamore Mill In 1963 the rural community of Jasper is thriving during a construction boom. Many of the citizens' lives intersect at the Sycamore Glen golf course. The new owner is investing heavily in the course and it is garnering a great deal of interest from far beyond the immediate vicinity of Jasper. The attractive manager of the pub located at the course, and her husband who is the grounds manager at the course, have started a family and live amidst the beauty of the glen with its majestic sycamore trees. The community will be celebrating the centennial of the largest battle of the Civil War - Gettysburg - which the towns' hero fought in. But the history of the man they're about to honor is sketchy. What kind of man was he? What did he endure during the war? Why is he a hero? The mayor of Jasper intends to find the answers to these questions. The youthful president of the country has an enthusiasm about him that has endeared him to most citizens. But his time in the office is about to end. Events are beginning to take place that will spiral out of control and push America into a war almost as divisive as the Civil War. The tentacles of this war will reach out halfway around the world and ensnare an entire generation ... even those in the quiet community of Sycamore Glen.
