The Scent of Cedar and Salt
Inspired by the true story of a North Carolina soldier who faced the Hindenburg Line.
In his first novel, The Scent of Cedar & Salt, Scott Perry leads readers from the quiet waterfront of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, into the mud, blood, and terror of the First World War.
Corporal Seth Perry is no born hero. He is a sawmill clerk carrying the weight of men he has known since childhood. When the boys of the 119th Infantry are thrown against the Hindenburg Line, Seth learns that leadership is not about rank or glory. It is about impossible choices, loyalty, fear, and deciding how much of yourself you are willing to sacrifice to bring your men home.
As the familiar scent of cedar and salt gives way to chalk, gas, gunpowder, and death, Seth must face an enemy more dangerous than the German army: the fear that war will destroy the man he once was.
Inspired by the extraordinary heroism of the real Corporal Seth E. Perry, The Scent of Cedar & Salt is a powerful story of ordinary men caught in an extraordinary moment and the terrible price of finding courage when courage is all that remains.
