"With excellent attention to details of life in the 1860s and historical accuracy, the story brings the reader face to face with the personal struggles of Southerners in an untenable situation.

"As West Virginia sat perched between the Union and the Confederacy, neighbors were forced to make difficult choices and kinfolk found themselves across from one another in battle ...

A stirring look at the people who lived, loved, and lost during the darkest period in our country's existence. A story to savor and an author to watch!"-Tara Johnson, Author of To Speak His Name |
