Description
Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt is a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story set against the turbulent backdrop of the American Civil War. In 1861, nine-year-old Jethro Creighton's life is forever changed as his family is pulled into the conflict between the North and South. As loyalties are divided and dreams are threatened, Jethro's bonds with his brother and cousin are put to the test in this vividly reconstructed period of history. Drawing from family records and stories told by her grandfather, Irene Hunt has created living characters that bring this crucial era to life. With its powerful narrative, Across Five Aprils is a moving portrayal of growing up during times of war and upheaval.
