The Glow of Morning is a historical novel set in the American South during the American Revolution.  The narrative focuses on the brutal civil war aspect of the conflict, where the battle between rebels (Patriots) and redcoats (British loyalists) ravages the region. 

The story depicts a landscape of devastated towns and burned plantations, highlighting the destruction inflicted upon the "Southland." Unlike novels that focus on major northern battles, Greenfield’s work emphasizes the internal strife and physical ruin experienced in the southern colonies, where neighbors often fought against neighbors.
