Dealing with the trauma of both the Civil War and the loss of their parents, twin brothers Tom and Stefan are separated, one into slavery, the other into the harshness of life with the Comanche. Very sensitively written and adherent to the times, these characters will stay with you long after the finish of the book.

This is a very well written and fascinating story of African American twins living in Texas in the 1860's. It explores racism, slavery and Indian abuse. The twins, Tom and Stefan, are separated during a Commanche Indian raid. Their shared love of baseball keeps them going during their separation and their hopes of being reunited. A worthy read. Thank you Net Galley for my copy. I reviewed on Goodreads.
