Summary: After the Civil War, twelve-year-old Will Page, orphaned and bitter, must live with relatives in Virginia. His uncle Jed, who refused to fight for the Confederacy, seems a coward to Will. As they toil together on the struggling farm, Will witnesses Jed's quiet strength and integrity. This challenges Will's notions of honor and courage, forcing him to confront his own prejudices. Can Will redefine what it means to be brave in a world still healing from conflict? Discover a journey of growth and understanding in a land scarred by war.
