Chicago, 1861

After years of painful separation, Justin Young finally locates his orphaned siblings—on opposite sides of the Civil War. Setting aside his budding romance, he brings his widowed sister and younger brothers home to Chicago, determined that the ties of the same blood are strong enough to bring them together despite the secrets they each carry from their pasts.

But faced with his inadequacies as a provider and leader, Justin discovers that real love is the hard work of granting grace and second chances to imperfect, hurting people with whom he has nothing in common. In the end, the Youngs discover that when they come home to God, He gives them the courage, freedom and grace to come home to the people they've come to love.

In this emotional story filled with humor and thoughtful faith, Yankee siblings come head-to-head with Confederate ones, Christian siblings with atheists, educated siblings with those raised on the street, and extroverted siblings with introverts. Set in Civil War Chicago, with its labor strikes and the Camp Douglas prison camp, you'll find characters you've come to love and won't soon forget.
