"We cannot separate. We cannot remove our respective sections from each other ..."
Abraham Lincoln's words were to resound in the house of Kent, where young Louis Kent, heir to an American dynasty, and his bride Julia were full of dreams and aspirations; and Jephtha Kent, now journalist for the Northern family newspaper Union, would see his three sons turn violently against him and take up the Southern cause. As the nation struggled, so would the Kents. ...
Gideon, the soldier, torn between his consuming desire to serve the new Confederacy and his love for a woman who preaches peace ... Jephtha, whose one-time wife has married a fanatical Southerner, turned his own sons against him, and seemingly involved herself in a plot to destroy him ... Louis, for whom the war is not a matter of freedom or slavery, union or disunion, but an opportunity to build a new, richer Kent empire by extracting ruthless profit from the agony of both sides ... Michael Boyle, family "friend," who finds himself thrust into the heart of the war between the states and the war between the Kents ... and looming over all, the titanic, tragic figure of Lincoln, Lee, and Davis, locked in a combat that will forever determine the course of the nation.
With all the color and sweep of American history itself, THE TITANS continues The Kent Family Chronicles- a mighty saga of heroism and dedication, patriotism and valor, shining spirit and abiding faith.
Here is the story of our nation-and an amazing family living in the turbulent times that began the American Experience.
