Empty Fields: A Civil War-Era Saga of the Hundley Evatt Family
Based on a true family history of Elizabeth & Hundley Evatt.
A quiet farmhouse. A divided country. And a woman determined to remember what History forgot.
In the years after the Civil War, Martha Adams sits in her Charleston home and puts pen to paper. What unfolds is a haunting, deeply human story of families whose lives were upended by the Civil War, grief, and the slow unraveling of the small farms they once called home.
From the rolling hills of Upcountry South Carolina to the distant thunder of cannon fire, Empty Fields captures the personal cost of a nation’s fracture. Through births, betrayals, quiet joys, and heartbreaking loss, Martha offers not just a record of what was taken, but a tribute to endurance, memory, and the bonds of friendship that survive even ruin.
Inspired by real ancestors, Hundley and Elizabeth Evatt, with copies of original 19th-century documents, Empty Fields is perfect for readers of character-driven Southern historical fiction and family sagas told in a steady, honest voice.
