Winner of the 2009 Christy Award for Best Young Adult novel!
The bonds linking family and the lines separating enemies have blurred for 17-year-old Robert. Honor and duty to God and country aren’t as clear-cut as he hoped them to be.
As Civil War rends his family and the nation, seventeen-year-old Robert vows to rescue his estranged mother and the girl he loves from behind enemy lines.
Unwittingly entangled in a prison escape, left for dead, and charged as a spy, Robert must forge his anger and shame into a renewed determination to rescue his family.
Confronted by an enemy and a war he no longer understands, Robert finds that the rescue, and its results, may not be up to him.
