Book Overview

Their Own Country is a historical fiction novel written by Alice Tisdale Hobart. The story is set in Virginia during the American Civil War and follows the lives of two families, the Carters and the Fontaines, who are torn apart by the conflict. The Carters are a wealthy plantation-owning family who support the Confederacy, while the Fontaines are a poorer family who are loyal to the Union. As the war rages on, the families become embroiled in the conflict and must navigate the dangers and uncertainties of wartime life.
