From the Back Cover
Greenywalt knows exactly what he wants: a peaceful life with his two sons, the older illegitimate one whom he loves and the younger legitimate one that he has never understood. He also knows neither son's mother will ever permit peace in his house for the other woman and her son. What can he do? The outbreak of war and his neighbors' demands that he provide a wagon and driver to defend the community against the French and their Indian allies creates a dilemma.Which son should he send? As a pacifist Mennonite, how can he send either one and not lose his salvation?
From Ken Yoder Reed, the author of the controversial Mennonite Soldier, comes Both My Sons, a new story of family and war in colonial Pennsylvania at the time of the French & Indian War.
