ECHOES FROM THE MIST A town and a nation rise from the ashes of the Civil War. The dramatic sequel to ECHOES OF THE FALLING SPRING. Ford McKenzie, a Southern Captain during the Civil War, has returned to Chambersburg, the only Northern town burned by the Confederates, to marry a local girl, Abby Kennedy. Here, they struggle with the psychological impact of the war upon their personal lives. Coping with grief inflicted by disease, murder and infidelity, tension heightens as the local railroad, represented by Abby's brother-in-law, attempts to run tracks through the heart of the McKenzie farm. Amanda, the illegitimate daughter of Abby's sister, and Michael, Ford's half-breed son, fall in love. Their blossoming romance is interrupted when Amanda enters Wilson College, and Michael searches for his heritage in the South. The North/South prejudice, the White/Indian bias, the death of a child, murder, betrayal of family members, lasting love, and reconstruction after war come together to make this an unforgettable story.
