The Road Back

Ruby McDermitt was heading home. But where was home? The place where she grew up? The house she lived in before Missouri went crazy? Or was it only in her dreams, her gilded memories of picnics on the lawn, of waiting for a man who would come and take her away.

All Ruby wanted to do was go home, but she didn't know her journey would cross paths with Erastus Morgan and Percy Lafayette, late of Morgan's Marauders, heroes of the Cause. Those fellows wanted a home too. They were desperate to reclaim what they had lost, even if it meant brutally rebuilding their past.

Ruby's journey, her winding road, is for anyone who has ever sought a future by revisiting the past.
