True Light

This narrative of prison life differs from all others that I have seen, in that it is careful to put the best possible construction upon the treatment of Union prisoners by the Confederates, and to state and emphasize kindnesses and courtesies received by us from them. For the accuracy of the facts stated, I am indebted to a diary kept from day to day during the whole of my imprisonment and to the best obtainable records. The exact language of conversations cannot, of course, always be remembered, but I aim always to give correctly the substance.

Here they were, two ordinary people who took a vow to love each other forever and ventured into life together happily and innocently. This was soon interrupted by malevolent third parties who began a series of vicious attacks that left the couple perplexed and confused. Yet the worst blow will take the couple through a barrage of events that would change their future forever. This is a journey of self-discovery, learning to know God for oneself, perseverance, and the will to keep going against all the odds.
