December, 1864. Having escaped the dreaded Confederate prison Andersonville four months earlier, Union Major Michael Drieborg has been recuperating at his parents' home in Michigan. But duty calls and he makes his way back to Washington for reassignment, eager to start working with Congressman Kellogg's Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War. Once in Washington, President Lincoln sends Michael south to assist Union war prisoners recently liberated at Savannah, Ga., by Sherman's army. But things grow complicated when Michael arrives and discovers the enormous task in front of him. Worse, while he is gone, old enemies threaten his family back in Michigan, and there is little he can do to help. With the war drawing to a close, Michael must adjust to new challenges, ones that will take him from the hallowed halls of Washington to the Indian country of the Dakota Territory-and into the very depths of his own soul.
