Produktbeschreibung
The first part of a Civil War trilogy, this novel begins with Lincoln's election as told by two historical characters, James Hanger and Halbert Paine. James was an eighteen-year old Virginian who joined the Confederate cavalry while Mr. Paine, a lawyer from Milwaukee, was named colonel of the 4th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. James' naïve zeal for adventure is in sharp contrast to Halbert's probing doubts regarding the validity of the conflict. This novel tells of the struggles endured by these men as they deal with battlefield brutality as well as the rampant diseases and inhumane conditions suffered by both armies while their families deal with hardships at home. The reader will be introduced to many historical figures encountered by these characters as varying attitudes regarding slavery are explored. These two men are the eyes, ears, and voices of this story about a war that is nearly too terrible to comprehend and still relevant 160 years later.

Autorenporträt
Sharon is a retired nurse who lives in Milwaukee, WI. She has loved to write since childhood but set it aside when she began to focus on raising her family and foster parenting medically fragile children. Now able to devote more time to her writing projects, she published her first book in 2011. She has said during interviews and book signings that "writing for me is like breathing. I just have to do it." The Bone Pile novels are a marriage of two of her greatest passions--writing and history.
