Young Lemuel escaped slavery to start a new life in Gettysburg. But when he unexpectedly befriends Jacob, a young Confederate soldier, his ideas about the North and the South are challenged. The two men may be of different races and on different sides of the Civil War, but they have much to teach each other about bravery and loyalty.
