Historical Chronicles Press
In the Civil War Battle of Shiloh, two soldiers are among the many thousands wounded or killed. One is Stanley, a Yankee, shot, his leg broken. The other is a Confederate, mortally wounded, the son of a local Christian family. Stanley tells Davina, the Confederate’s mother, where her son is?on the condition that she will nurse him back to health. In spite of her anger that a Yankee should demand this of her, she agrees. Before her son dies, he urges his mother to take care of the Union soldier as if he were her own son.
Davina’s family is outraged that the soldier whose army killed their brother is being allowed to recover in their home. But her youngest son, Willy, who is blind, befriends Stanley. Eventually her teenaged daughter, Anna, and Stanley fall in love. But the oldest remaining son, Luke, resists Stanley with all his heart. Stanley befriends a slave family, the Jacksons, and they lead him to faith in Christ. But Luke’s bitterness grows, and after wounding Stanley, he betrays him to a slave trader. Can Stanley escape and remain with the family he has come to love?
Until Shiloh Comes is a story of love?love between Stanley and Anna, and love among the members of the two families on the farm, one white, one black. It is a story of honor and loyalty. It is a story of personal choices and their consequences. And once you have begun this new novel, you won’t be able to put it down.
