The Gates of Trevelyan by Jacquelyn Cook appears to be another one of those sweeping epic historical family sagas, this one set on a plantation around the time of the US Civil War, of the sort we've previously received from this author, free courtesy of Southern specialty publisher Bell Bridge Books.
This appears to be a standalone which does not obviously tie into any of the author's other books.

Description
Family. Faith. Love. War. The Gates of Trevalyan brings the turbulent years before, during and after the Civil War to vivid and passionate life. Trevalyan, the beautiful central-Georgia plantation where idealistic young Jenny Mobley and aristocratic Charles King marry and build a life together, becomes a symbol of the heartache and division brought by the nation's bitter wounds.
Author Jacquelyn Cook weaves the King family's story into a tapestry featuring the most compelling figures of the time—from charismatic statesman Alexander Stephens and his doomed love for Elizabeth Craig to Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and many others. Richly detailed and intensely researched, THE GATES OF TREVALYAN breathes the spirit of great storytelling into a fascinating historical era.
