On Jordan's Stormy Banks: A Man's Journey Home

By Bob Lankford

As they walked, the preacher said, "Silas, you don't really believe we're fighting for slavery, do you, son? I only know of a few men in the Fifth who even own a slave. Some of the men never even saw one till they were almost grown. I don't know what in the world makes you think we're fighting for slavery, but you're just plain mistaken."
Seventeen and terrified, Silas Swann has led a privileged life and has never been forced to fight for anything. He doesn't recognize himself as he stands in a Confederate uniform and holds a loaded weapon, crouching in the overgrown field. He's waiting to fire his weapon at his target in hopes of a kill. But why?
Silas can't quite pull the trigger, and he begins to realize it has more to do with what the war stands for than his fear of killing a person. He learns that his enemies are much bigger than a Union soldier. They are personal struggles and the biggest bully in his own company, Moses.
As Silas struggles through the terror and grief of war, he finds himself in search of forgiveness. Will he find the answer to the war On Jordan's Stormy Banks?
