Beskrivelse
Altamaha Sunset is about a young man growing up on the family farm near Savannah, in pre-Civil War Georgia. He experiences subsistence farming and the awkward situation of his family having two slaves. A growing relationship between his older brother Daniel and the slave girl Aliyah causes turmoil within the family. In the second year of the war, Micah and Daniel enlist in the army and participate in the battles of their Confederate unit. Following their release at the end of the war and while traveling home Micah, Daniel and fellow soldiers are robbed which begins a challenging sequence of events during the turbulent reconstruction period in the South.
