Avery’s Crossroad
The saga of Avery Junior Bennett and his hound dog Gunner continues into 1863 through 1865 in book two of this Y/A Civil War series. Time and war age our young hero who finds himself at a moral, emotional, and political crossroad in his daily routine of doctoring during this cruel and punishing war. Serving the injured on both sides of the conflict, Avery is empathetic, yet stalwart. His feelings toward Claire, the nurse and friend always beside him, prove to be one of Avery's most puzzling challenges. Gunner, however, has it all figured out. Mapping the war for his patient's on a piece of butcher paper hung on the hospital wall, readers will follow the advance to the fall of Richmond along with Avery and Gunner, mourn the loss of a president amid the jubilation of a Union restored, and shed tears of joy as the soldiers and their doctor and his dog find their way home in 1865.
