"This compassionate novel tells the gripping story of the men and women for who the American Revolution became a bloody civil war. It centers on a devoted Loyalist family in the Carolinas - the Quantrells of Benton's Crossing - who sheltered a wounded rebel, Orne Savage. Orne's logic challenged old Alwyn Quantrell's British sympathies, his revolutionary convictions aroused the independent spirit of young Brant, and his handsome face stirred within the beautiful Sabrina a love she dared not acknowledge. This powerful novel of love and war captures the pathos of these bewildered people and gives a striking account of the dramatic events which culminated in the fierce Battle of Guilford Court House. Moving swiftly, recording the rending emotions of the men and women whose sacrifices brought liberty to the colonies, The Carolinians breathes fresh life into the gallant beginnings of our country."
