Brothers of the Storm

By David W. Menefee

What happens when twin boys are sold into slavery during the American Civil War? Matthew lives with traveling actors in the North, Mark lives on a dreadful plantation in the South, and the elusive road to freedom separates them. Mark escapes into the Underground Railroad and follows the North Star toward liberty. Matthew is mistaken as a Union soldier and captured by his own forces as an enemy. Only his brother can save him from hanging . . . if he can find him.

From the Amistad rebellion to the Emancipation Proclamation, African-American history comes alive when their search for each other takes them on an unforgettable journey with Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Harriet Tubman, John Wilkes Booth, and Abraham Lincoln.

One brother's hopes are shattered, his twin's dream become a nightmare, and a war ignites the fuse for an explosive adventure in the fiery valleys of a war-torn nation. Can these brothers of the storm reunite before tyranny destroys them?
