Ashes of Eden

By: Sarah G. Bakersfield

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A war divided a nation. Love and legacy divided two brothers.

In the sultry fields of North Carolina, under the shadow of magnolia trees, Henry and Samuel Beauregard are bound by blood, honor, and a name older than the soil beneath their feet. But when the winds of war sweep across their homeland, what begins as a bond unbreakable by childhood oath becomes a mirror of a nation’s undoing.

Henry—idealistic and questioning—seeks truth beyond the boundaries of inheritance. Samuel—proud and unyielding—clings to the traditions that shaped them both. As faith clashes with conscience and the old world burns to ash, each brother must face what it means to love his family, his country, and his own soul.

Told with haunting lyricism and cinematic sweep, Ashes of Eden captures the intimate cost of a war fought not only on battlefields but in hearts and homes. Through mothers who pray, wives who endure, and generations who inherit both guilt and grace, this is a story of legacy, redemption, and the quiet mercy that follows even the darkest night.

Set against the turmoil of a divided America, Ashes of Eden is a sweeping tale of loyalty, loss, and the fragile hope that something tender can still grow from the ruins of what was once called home.

📚 Perfect for readers who love:

• Emotionally rich, character-driven historical fiction
• Lyrical writing that blends history, faith, and human conflict
• Family sagas that explore the cost of inheritance and the search for redemption

Virtual Voice Horrible

This is a story that I really wanted to hear. The virtual voice was so monotone that I couldn't get through the 2nd chapter. Have to do better. Hopefully, this book will get a real narrator.
