His Brother's Enemy: A Civil War Story

By Gary M. Roberts

His Brother's Enemy
Twelve-year-old Thomas Reed never meant to join the war.
When his older brother Eli marches away with the Confederate Army, Thomas secretly follows, determined to stay by his hero's side. But one reckless decision leaves him trapped behind Union lines, alone in a world he has been taught to hate.
Forced to travel with a Union army pushing south through the mountains, Thomas expects cruelty from the men in blue. Instead, he finds unexpected friendship in a weary surgeon named Samuel, a homesick colonel who reminds him of his father, and ordinary soldiers who laugh, suffer, and dream of home just as Confederate soldiers do.
As battles rage and the cost of war grows heavier with every mile, Thomas begins to question everything he thought he knew about enemies, courage, and loyalty.
But through every hardship, one hope keeps him moving forward:
Finding Eli.

A moving Civil War coming-of-age novel about family, friendship, and the difficult truths discovered on the road between hatred and understanding.
For readers who enjoy stories of courage, brotherhood, and the enduring power of home.
