Best Western Juvenile Fiction!
Based on a true story, this is the tale of a family fleeing Confederate Tennessee at the beginning of the Civil War.
In 1861, some members of the Southern community begin to force their neighbors to join the Army of the Confederacy. Eleven-year-old twins George and Sarah Patterson, along with the rest of the family, set out to escape Tennessee and migrate to the Missouri Ozarks, where their father will be safe from conscription. Along the way, plans go awry and the twins must use all their courage and intelligence to keep the family safe.
A story of growing up during the greatest conflict ever seen on American soil, told from the perspective of the children themselves. When the responsibility for the family’s health and safety is thrust upon them, the Patterson twins discover life is much more than just a game.
