I Have Seen Him in the Watchfires
by Cathy Gohlke
Robert Glover is now seventeen years old and the Civil War has begun. Robert unwittingly becomes a pawn of a Confederate escape plan. Angry and ashamed, he works his way south, only to discover that his mother has become mentally unstable. Sherman's march of destruction through the Carolinas promises to bring Union troops directly to their door. Robert must come to terms with his mother and his own responsibilities before God.
