The Broken Fife by Gary Demack is a historical fiction set during the Civil War. However, I learned many things I didn't know because the focus was in Missouri. Quite honestly, I didn't realize that Missouri was part of the fray at all.
This novel is a beautiful tale of forbidden love. Demack masterfully weaves the history of the era with engaging characters struggling against the bounds of societal norms as Junius, the son of a Jewish merchant, hides his faith, as well as his feelings for Ruby, the family's slave. What will Junius do when the war, and all its implications, lands squarely in his small town in Missouri? Demack's story will leave readers wondering what they would be willing to do for love. A must-read for historical fiction fans. (This novel is still in the Advanced Reader Copy stage. I'll be sure to provide links when the book has come to Amazon!) *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Whispers from Beyond: Ghosts Really Do Exist? With Author Jeff Giles
