Brought to the New World from Ireland, young Joseph Forsyth is soon
betrayed by his alcoholic father and separated from his beloved family.
As he grows older, he finds his kind nature exploited by
others--including an alluring young woman named Lucy--until he gets
swept away by the conflict that divides a nation.
After the bloody siege of Petersburg, Joseph floats in and out of
consciousness at a Union army hospital. Keeping vigil at his side is
Rebecca Walker, a nurse and widow all too familiar with the horrors of
war. As Joseph fights for his life and Rebecca struggles to follow her
heart, both face a devastating choice: whether to hang on to the wounds
of the past or move on to an uncertain future.
From the fields of Ireland to the metropolis of Quebec to the
battlefields of Virginia, Going Home follows one man's quest for his
place in a world still healing from the wreckage of war.
