About this audiobook
Under a cold October moon, four Union pickets—Thorn, Phil, Dick, and Flint—keep watch and swap the stories that tether them to home. In Louisa May Alcott’s moving Civil War tale, playful banter turns to raw confession: jovial Dick’s whirlwind courtship, laconic Thorn’s aching fidelity to a lost wife, and lanky Flint’s plainspoken proposal that blossoms into steadfast love. Then comes Phil’s reckoning—his transformation from Confederate officer to Union private for the sake of honor and Margaret—rising to a vow that a single, sudden rifle shot seals forever. Alcott’s humane eye, sharp wit, and compassion for soldiers’ hearts illuminate war’s quiet hours and its brutal turns. Narrator Greg Cooper gives each man a distinct, lived-in voice, catching both the rough music of camp talk and the tenderness beneath it. A timeless portrait of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the loves that make men brave.
