A Man Made of Weather
He survived the Civil War. But could he find a way to live with what it had taken from him?
In the spring of 1864, twenty-three-year-old Private Dana Y. Dow of the 4th Maine Volunteer Infantry leaves a Washington hospital, weakened by illness and haunted by the terrible cost of war.
From the battlefields of Virginia to the shipyards and rocky shores of Maine, Dana must confront a world that has continued without him-and discover whether the future can still hold friendship, purpose, love, and hope.
Set against the richly imagined world of nineteenth-century New England, A Man Made of Weather is a historical novel about the ordinary people whose lives were forever altered by extraordinary events.
Inspired by the life of a real Civil War soldier from Thomaston, Maine, the novel brings history into intimate focus through one young man's struggle to rebuild his life.
Author Blaikie Hines has lived for more than three decades in the house Dana Dow built after the war, giving this story a remarkable personal connection to the past.
For readers who love Civil War historical fiction, memorable characters, and stories of resilience, faith, and the enduring power of home.
