Away at War: A Civil War Story of the Family Left Behind
This true story (Historical Fiction) of endurance and loss during the American Civil War opens with D. Brainard Griffin's farewell to his family, as he heads of to fight to preserve the Union, promising to return to their farm on the Minnesota prairie. His wife and their three young children are left behind to manage the farm on their own. Minnesota's harsh seasons dictate the cycles they must follow, but even with his weekly letters from the battlefield, and with the help of neighbors and family, the hardships and responsibilities are almost beyond them. And Brainard never returns, as he is killed two years later at the Battle of Chickamauga.
