Wilderness

Thirty years after the Civil War's Battle of the Wilderness left him maimed, Abel Truman has found his way to the edge of the continent, the rugged, majestic coast of Washington State, where he lives alone in a driftwood shack with his beloved dog. He is on a final journey over the snowbound Olympic Mountains. As Abel makes his way into the foothills, the violence he endures at the hands of two thugs who are after his dog is crosscut with his memories of the horrors of the war, the friends he lost, and the savagery he took part in and witnessed.

  • "Thirty-five years ago, Abel Truman was on the wrong side in the Battle of the Wilderness, a bloody clash in the American Civil War. On Washington State's rugged coast, in his driftwood shack, he'd waited for the scars to heal. Now old and ailing, Abel must make one final journey over the snowbound Olympic Mountains. But he sets out, followed by two men, darkly tenacious in their pursuit... Hypatia is a slave whose freedom comes at a terrible price. She walks unwittingly into the hellish heart of the Wilderness. Ellen is a white woman, married to a black man in dangerous and unforgiving times. And Jane, a young Chinese girl, cruelly orphaned, clings to life...eventually, Abel's tortured path will lead to each one of them..."
