About this listen

A war divides them. A woman unites them. The land remembers everything.

In the burning heart of the American Civil War, two brothers stand on opposite sides of a nation tearing itself apart.
Thomas Emberlain fights for the Union—measured, moral, and determined to preserve what remains of honor.
James Emberlain wears the gray—driven by loyalty, guilt, and the inheritance of a dying South.

Between them stands Clara Whitfield, the preacher’s daughter whose courage defies the war’s boundaries. As she tends the wounded and shelters the lost, her quiet strength binds the broken threads of the Emberlain plantation—where loyalty, love, and conscience collide beneath the endless sky.

When the brothers meet again across a river that divides both armies and hearts, their choices will shape not only their fate but the land itself. And long after the guns fall silent, the valley of Emberlain will still whisper their names—through the wheat, through the fire, through time itself.

Sweeping, lyrical, and unforgettable, The Fields of Emberlain is a historical epic of love and loss, guilt and grace, and the enduring power of the soil to heal what war destroys.
Fans of Cold Mountain and Gone with the Wind will be captivated by this haunting, cinematic tale of redemption and legacy, where what is lost becomes legend—and what remains becomes truth.
