The book opens as the Civil War is ending. The heart has been ripped out of the country and the men who fought in the war. All these men want now is to find peace and a place they can call home, if possible love. To find that, they join forces with the men they fought with and have come to trust. They know they have one another's back, and they will need it. Their story is not that unusual; they must fight prejudice and fight men of greed who have no honor and who know only how to hurt others and to steal? It is as old as the war between good and evil. You will come to hope they can bet the odds. If you feel a tear in your eye, you will not be alone. In some parts, you might laugh a little. When you reach the end of this book, you will be glad you read it.
