Jordan's War: 1862 — B.K. Birch

Book 2 of a Civil War Trilogy

Behind the official historical documents and studied texts, there are countless families whose lives were forever altered by atrocities and ruthlessness of war. Jordan's War is the story of Jordan Sinclair, a twelve-year-old boy whose family endures and eventually triumphs during one of the most turbulent times in American history.

The Sinclair family is ostracized and isolated after Jordan's older brother joins the Federal Army and his pa makes a deal with devil - black marketers and blockade runners - all in the name of survival. The family fights to maintain their dignity and faith while becoming a scapegoat for the suffering of their neighbors and an easy target for the Home Guard. Superstition and suspicion comes to the mountain and the battle rages on.
