He knew these sounds. The sounds of jingling bridles, lumbering wagon wheels, horses hoofs, and marching feet. The music of an army on the march. Coming for his home. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, Rockbridge tells the story of Tyler Briggs, a young cabinet maker born and raised in rural Georgia who becomes a soldier, and Shannon Delaney, a young woman he has hopes of making his wife. Torn between his sense of duty and his yearning for a quiet, peaceful life with the woman he loves, Tyler enlists in the 24th Georgia Infantry and goes to war, enduring the harsh realities of the grueling marches, devastating losses, and moral complexities of the cause that soon weigh heavily on him. As a war that most thought would end in months drags on for years and reaches a level of savagery no one could have imagined, at Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and the siege of Richmond, Tyler's journey is marked by his camaraderie with his fellow soldiers, the loss of friends, and the unrelenting struggle to survive. His thoughts often drift to his family home and Shannon, whose letters give him hope in the darkest of times. Shannon copes with personal tragedy that forces unexpected responsibilities upon her and endures the privations suffered by the citizens of the small Georgia hamlet that eventually finds itself directly in the path of a vengeful Federal army. Through it all, both young people cling to the hope that someday they will be reunited and can create the future they still dream of. Rockbridge is a poignant tale of love, resilience, and the enduring human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
