About this title

Synopsis

He survived Andersonville . . . and then his trials really began. Solomon Ramsdell brought the love of his life to his new farm in pioneer Michigan, then the Civil War threatened all they were building together. He heeded the call to the Union army, was captured and imprisoned, then returned to Jennette to find his life forever changed. This heartfelt novel explores the real people hinted at in the historical record. Though Solomon's story is partially told in the companion novel ROSETTE, this volume reveals what he must have suffered and what might have been his rescue. "Touching without being sentimental, SOLOMON RAMSDELL is a journey through trauma and grief that finds a happy ending not far from where it started."
