Where the Road BeginsTate Publishing, 2006 - 299 من الصفحات Across Arkansas men marched away to subdue devils-either Yankee or Confederate-depending on one's politics. Unfortunately devils of another breed stayed behind. In the spellbinding novel Where the Road Begins, author Nancy Dane brings alive a time when marauding bushwhackers rode the hills and when women had as much to fear as any soldier. This clash between North and South took a conscripted youth, Elijah Loring, far from the banks of Little Piney Creek down a road where terror and war awaited. After returning home a hardened man, he suffered lost love, and in a lawless land, confronted dangers as great as any endured in the crushed Confederate army. |
