Synopsis

The first in a series of novellas featuring Jeff Boon, a Confederate Civil War veteran who returns home after the war to find home is not the way he remembered it. Union raiders struck his home town, burning buildings and killing residents, including his mother. And he finds the survivors are not as he remembered them. War can change people, and he finds it has changed him, too. A stirring novella of the aftermath of war, and the affect it can have on the people who fight the battles, and the people left behind.

About Brad Dennison

Brad Dennison was born in rural New England and grew up reading Louis L'Amour, Luke Short, A. B. Guthrie, Jr., and even Edgar Rice Burroughs. He knew at fourteen he wanted to write for a living, and refused to give up the goal even when the odds seemed overwhelmingly against it. Now, thanks to Amazon, his stories are available. He is a member of the Western Writers of America. Brad fell in love with the Old West at a very young age. It began with movies and old TV series like Gunsmoke and Bonanza, and later expanded to western novels. This led to his study of Western history. The pioneers, the Indians, the cattlemen, the gunfighters. His interest in history is not so much about wars and great leaders, but the people who lived on the land. And that's what he writes about. The people. He doesn't write about the old west as much as he writes about what it might have felt like to be there.
