Description
The Carter family is anxiously awaiting their beloved Tod to come back from fighting in the Civil War. On the day he is scheduled to arrive, however, startling news comes to the family: enemy Union soldiers will be nearing the Carter homestead, at best bringing soldiers who will raid the home for supplies, and at worst bringing Confederate soldiers in their wake and turning the lawn into a battlefield. Worst of all, Tod is unexpectedly delayed, and the family has no news of him. As the situation indeed brings a dangerous skirmish upon the household, the Carters must decide: will they wait out danger, hoping for Tod's return, or will they flee? Although this story is fiction, it is based on events surrounding the real Carter household and the Battle of Franklin. 100 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Tod Comes Home
On a day that was meant to be filled with celebration and fanfare at the return of Captain Tod Carter, his family and sweetheart Sarah Beth feel a heavy anxiousness grow as the Federals set up camp in the front yard of the Carter House.
“Our plan isn’t to attack here in Franklin,” a Union general assures Tod’s father Fount Carter. “We plan to move our men out as soon as possible to join forces with General Thomas in Nashville.”
But events change quickly. The war that once seemed a distant tragedy is now at the Carters’ doorstep. Fate has dealt Fount Carter a hand of unexpected dilemmas. Should he move his family to a safer place or stay and wait for his son’s return?
Based on the true story of Tod Carter, the Carter family, and the Battle of Franklin, life once again is more unbelievable than fiction. Tod’s journey is filled with hardship, struggle, and hope. The family and sweetheart who wait for him can only have faith and pray that Tod Comes Home.
