Publisher's Synopsis
Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, Sheldon's novel tells the story of a young man's journey of self-discovery and redemption. Freetown, a small rural community in the Midwest, becomes a microcosm of the wider conflict, as the town's residents struggle to reconcile their differences and come together in the face of adversity. With its powerful themes of compassion, forgiveness, and social justice, The Redemption of Freetown remains a timeless classic of American literature.
