A set of antique photographic plates is the key to uncovering
hidden truths of the Civil War, Great Depression, and 9/11 eras in
this “unflinching” novel (Publishers Weekly). A teenage boy and
his grandfather travel across America to attend that last great
reunion of Civil War veterans at Gettysburg in 1938, where secrets
and lies are revealed about the old man’s past. Perhaps he was
not the hero his grandson thought, but he still has a valuable
treasure to reveal, which will shed intriguing light on the war and
his part in it. Interweaving three periods of crisis in American
history—the Civil War, the Depression, and 9/11—The
Photographer’s Boy explores the power of photography and
journalism to inform or mislead; raises questions about love; and
offers “an unflinching but sympathetic, often touching, look at
the comforting fictions people wrap themselves in to protect
themselves from the cold of reality” (Publishers Weekly).
