IN DANGER EVERY HOUR
A Civil War Novel
A book of innocence, bravery and misfortune, "In Danger Every Hour" delivers to the reader an absorbing tale of how war-torn people cling to the power of love and forgiveness.
THE SECRET TO ITS SUCCESS
Tired of books about serial killers, cops gone bad, boy wizards or vampires? In Danger Every Hour is about something real and carries you away to the very shoe leather of what makes our nation great. It is about the Civil War--a war that deeply impacted America and changed her forever! In this war over 600,000 American citizens died. In Danger Every Hour strikes a chord as it focuses on character development and doesn't merely spoon feed the reader battlefield data or quippy anecdotes about Abraham Lincoln. It takes you onto the battlefield and into the homes of the locals. It allows you to experience what it would be like to run up a hill with a bayonet toward the enemy, or to be a young widow and have to fight off an intruder in the middle of the night. It also provides a startling contrast between the life of faith and hope and one devoid of character and integrity. Through months of Causey's research at the archives, into diaries and CW biographies this historical novel takes you to the very linchpin of the Civil War and reaches deep into the experiences of those common men who sacrificed everything for their generals. It also takes you into Lincoln's Cabinet meeting revealing intimate conversations Lincoln had with those he depended on (found recently by fresh scholarship). The characters, both historical and fictitious, seem effortlessly convincing. Some of the noble characters are flawed while some of the less-galliant are disastrous, but you will find that all of them are much like us in their strengths, inadequacies and betrayals. In this war the lines of right and wrong are just as blurred as in any war, the Soldiers just as conflicted and the results just as painful to stomach. Plus, state's rights, limited Federal government, role of the Executive Branch and many important areas we deal with today were grappled with 150 years ago. Come to this far away land, the land of our fathers who fought and died in those green meadows and woods of Virginia and you will experience why people love this book.
