A Ballad Of The Civil War

by Mary Stolz · 1997

+ Want to read

Twin brothers, sons of a plantation owner, share everything—except their different beliefs about slavery. As the political tensions rise in the South, they are caught between their passions for their causes and their love for one another. When the Civil War begins, the twins both go to war—to fight each other. Mary Stolz captures the spirit of the times in this emotionally-charged story of two brothers growing irrevocably apart.
