Overview
Centered on real events and real lives including an iconic Confederate curmudgeon, a legendary racehorse, and the Civil War's bloodiest fight, A Turn For Home transcends scenes ranging from antebellum Saratoga Springs and Appomattox to the Belmont Stakes and Yellowstone National Park. Charlie Harrison is a widowed, retired country doctor residing in the little village of Keswick, outside Charlottesville, Virginia. In his eyes, he's just another old man now, confronting that question we all will ask one day, "Did I ever make a difference?" Fueled by marvelous serendipity in his search for an answer and drawing upon his own post-Civil War boyhood, Charlie inspires his great-granddaughter Ginny to believe in the impossible after her aviator father is shot down over North Vietnam. Contrasting the parallels of human conflict old and new with almost forgotten, but wonderful events, this is a story that will make your heart soar.
