Peace River Buy it now! https://a.co/d/cmTyljs Peace River: A Novel of the Civil War. Another man went to war for you. Do you care? You were forced to go to war for another man. How do you get revenge? Merritt Moran is on a train. The bottle in his cloak is empty. His clothes stink. And he can't clear his mind of the woman from his past. The woman in the white dress. He knows his father sent another to fight in his place, And that war turned that person from a scared innocent to an angry killer whose knife brought revenge on Merritt’s family. Merritt must find that man. For his own redemption. But where is the man? Maybe, just maybe, he's somewhere on Peace River.

A frightened man. Death. Conscription. Terror. Capture. Revenge. A wayward man. Challenge. Revelation. Change. Redemption. Don’t look for military gallantry and strategy in Peace River. Look for betrayal and hypocrisy. And dirt. And blood and death.
