Book by Irene Hunt
This novel set during the Civil War describes the realities of war and the pain that tore whole families apart. Through the loving eyes of a young boy who cares for his brothers and other family members, we see the dilemmas of choosing sides, the shame in desertion, and the loss of life. When we think about wars, we concentrate on the winners, losers, heroes, and outcomes, but we forget the individuals’ conflicts and anguish.
