"A remarkable Civil War tale about Northern characters fighting for their own freedom as they seek revenge." -KIRKUS REVIEWSZachary Webster was an innocent Maine farm boy before becoming a sharpshooter, but the violence of the Civil War battlefields has turned him into a natural killer. While home on his unit's month-long furlough, he murders the man he believes has stolen his beloved. In doing so, he sets into motion three intensely dark journeys-his own as a soldier returning to a brutal and hopeless war; his sweetheart's as she seeks absolution; and the brother of the murdered man, whose quest for revenge propels him into the most violent of worlds. When the three find each other amid the chaos and brutality of the Battle of the Wilderness, they're faced with figuring out if they are tempered enough from their own redemptive ordeals to face whatever uncertain future awaits them after the bloody fighting is over.

Do you know my number one sign of a good book? When the plot doesn't do it, it's when I find myself cringing as I remember characters long after I have turned the last page and closed the book. It is one thing for an author to make you feel something for the characters while you are in the midst of the tale, but it's quite another to make you think about those same characters when you are finished. That's not to say I really liked any of Bridgford's people; not Zachary or Jedediah or even Catherine. The more important revelation I must stress is that I believed them. I believed the hate. I believed the hurt. I believed the need for revenge on all levels. I don't think it's a spoiler to say I even believed the ultimate forgiveness... ( )
