Stephen Wright offers an American Civil War novel unlike any other. His hero Liberty Fish is the son of fervent abolitionists and the grandson of Carolina slaveholders. Hoping to reconcile the familial disunion, Liberty escapes first into the cauldron of war, then into a bedlam more disturbing still.
