On a chilly October morning in 1858, ten-year-old Jim Peck
remains alone beside the fresh Kentucky grave of his mother. He
struggles to gather his memories before they are blown across the
weathered headstones and out of his life forever. Later that night,
the sting of desertion deepens when his distraught father leaves
Jim and his four younger siblings in the care of their Aunt Sally
and Uncle Zur. As the children grapple with their personal loss, an
even larger tragedy begins to seep through the cracks of their
already fragile world. Neighbors line up against neighbors as
Kentuckians are forced to choose between the Blue and the Grey, and
family loyalties are tested and sometimes broken.
Over the next few years, the Civil War encircles the border
state with the inescapable certainty of a hangman's noose. While
further south, Georgia and the Carolinas boast of loyalty to the
Confederate Cause, the drums of valor grow muffled while reaching
northward and eastward across the Barren River and along Peters
Creek. As a border state, Kentucky cuts its veins open with
dissention, leaving even its children marked by the stains of
war.
Walt Whitman wrote of a child who goes forth every day, and as
he looks upon the world, he becomes that world. Jim Peck looks upon
death, desertion, and bitter conflict at a young age, but as he
grows, he also perceives compassion, hope, and humor in those
around him. At a time when Kentucky must bury her dead and nurture
her wounded, Jim reaches deep and uncovers his own compassion,
hope, and humor waiting patiently alongside his best-protected
memories.
