A Season of Shadows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735270845)

How would you feel if your serene, idyllic peace was shattered in the dark of night by an unfamiliar noise? What if the noise was cannon fire from nearby Fort Sumter, catapulting your family into a war that would forever mark history? That's where the Murphy family find themselves. Nelson Murphy and his wife, Blanche, having been reared on large plantations, are now prominent city dwellers in Charleston, South Carolina. Going against their families' beliefs, they think slavery is an abomination to human beings, but the country is now at war with the seceded Southern states going against the Union military. Nelson Murphy is caught in a conundrum. Should he join the Union who uphold his beliefs, or should he remain loyal to the new Confederacy? What would happen to his beloved family? If he joins the Union, his family will be ostracized and maybe killed. If he joins the Southern Cause he doesn't believe in, how can he live with himself? Could his family survive if he's killed? Could his wife learn ways to cope and support their children? Immerse yourself into the Murphy's lives as they traverse a journey of unprecedented dangers and emotional upheavals while the Civil War rages in the deadliest war that will forever change America
