[A] Civil War odyssey in the tradition of Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain... written in a vernacular that resurrects the era and fully brings alive Callum and Ava’s adventures on the road. At the center of the story is the couple’s growing love for each other, which powers the story to a suspenseful ending and a satisfying epilogue.

(Starred review.) [T]he lawless days at the close of the Civil War. Young Callum...finds a lone girl named Ava and tries to save her from the brutish Colonel.... [Their] frantic journey toward a new life is full of danger.... A nail-biting journey from first page to last. —Donna Bettencourt, Mesa Cty. P.L., Palisade, CO
Library Journal
(Starred review.) Drawing from the shadows of America's epic tragedy, the Civil War, Brown's debut novel offers a tale of endurance and love in the face of adversity.... Like McCarthy's Border Trilogy or Frazier's Cold Mountain, this is American literature at its best, full of art and beauty and the exploration of all that is good and bad in the human spirit.
