Publisher's Synopsis
'Compelling Madness' tells a story while asking a question. The story is of a young man caught up in the history changing turmoil of America's civil war and the passions that drive him to commit acts of insane measure. The question is to what extent was his life, and for that matter, the lives of perhaps any, controlled by our own hand? The terrors that awaited Pvt. Meridan Everson became the focus of this mystery of life and death borne of the strangest of forces. To follow Pvt. Everson's journey is to behold one whose destiny sees him plunged deeply into a place of dread where the nightmares of youth become the reality of any given moment. If death is not the end, what is existence and where do we truly know its path on a road taken eventually by all? This is one man's haunted story, one journey of no return and the price to be paid for the evil that we may carry within.
