Robert Hicks

Set in New Orleans in the years after the Civil War, A Separate Country, written by best-selling author Robert Hicks (The Widow of the South) is based on the incredible life of John Bell Hood, arguably one of the most controversial — and tragic — generals of the Confederate Army. After the war, he marryied Anna Marie Hennen and fathered 11 children with her, including three sets of twins. Crippled by his war wounds and defeat, ravaged by financial misfortune, Hood had one last foe to battle: Yellow Fever.

A Separate Country is the heartrending story of a decent and good man who struggled with his inability to admit his failures — and the story of those who taught him to love, and to be loved, and transformed him.
