Iron Branch: A Civil War Tale of a Woman In-Between - Paperback
by Kelby Ouchley (Author)
A half-Choctaw woman, who describes herself as always "in-between," tells the story of her life and that of a soldier in north Louisiana during the Civil War. The heart of the tale involves a journey of rescue. Her state of "in-between" takes on new meanings as she is drawn ever deeper into the turmoil of the times. Passion, self-doubt, and malice finally threaten her existence in any condition.
