Why Read This Book
Good Christian fiction is hard to find. Many readers want a story with real tension and real history that doesn't leave them wading through content they'd rather avoid, and that takes God seriously without preaching at them.
Gabe MacCallan is a young Kentuckian with a soldier's past and a preacher's heart, a Confederate veteran who objected to the killing. As the South lies in ruins he heads west looking for peace, and lands in Warrensburg, Missouri, a town caught up in lawlessness, grief, and guerrilla violence. There he has to decide whether to walk away from injustice or stand in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30). Wallace grew up hearing his family's stories of life in Kentucky after the war, and those stories give the book its sense of place.
