The Uncertain Times

As the Civil War ravages the country and his family, Nathaniel Mitchell joins the Confederate cause in Georgia after witnessing a fierce battle in his own backyard. Under the command of General Johnston and without his mother s approval, Nathan traverses the trails of the Atlanta Campaign. Plagued by guilt for joining the war without his mother s approval and ever mindful of the responsibilities he forsook to take on the responsibilities of war, Nathaniel finds a mentor and forges friendships with several men. Thankfully, his new mentor contributes more than just wisdom to the Mitchell family and, in the end, gives Nathaniel a gift he could never repay.
