Hiram's War Hazel Hart

October 1864: A family and a nation divided.
Kansan Hiram Pierce is a stubborn, opinionated man who has alienated his family and local community, but he is also a patriot, a man loyal to his state. When Governor Carney calls on every man between 18 and 60 to join the Kansas State Militia and stop Confederate General Price and his rebel horde from laying waste to Kansas, Hiram immediately signs up.

Hiram's regiment is ordered to the Kansas/Missouri state line where he is wounded in battle and taken prisoner. As Confederate guards drive him and his fellow prisoners south, Hiram faces physical and emotional challenges that make him question the rightness of his past decisions.

Meanwhile, his estranged children gather in Westport, home of two of the sisters. The youngest, twelve-year-old Jennie has visions of her father as a wounded prisoner. Fearing he will die without her help, she must convince her older brother and sisters to put aside their grudges and rescue him. Can she overcome their resistance, and if she does, will her dream of a reunited family be realized?
