Description

In the waning days of the Civil War, thirteen-year-old Ephraim Wright is caught between the enslaved community he was born into and the white family that raised him as one of their own. When violence tears apart the fragile security of his home, Ephraim must confront a world where loyalty, justice, and survival are shaped by war and the brutal laws of slavery. As he takes extraordinary risks to protect the people he loves, he faces a profound moral struggle over courage, revenge, and the cost of resisting oppression. Rich in historical detail, the novel offers a compelling portrait of Southern life during the Civil War and the impossible choices forced upon those trapped between two worlds.
