The novel tells of a man during the American Civil War. It tells of his dark side and how he struggled. A difficult story to read because of the sadness. I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley. This review is my feelings towards the book.

I really liked this book, and wished it wouldn't have ended.

This book is about Adriel, whose name means pilgrim, and has been following the word of Christ, but after a series of very tragic events, he was led astray from his faith. In this book we see Adriel struggle with alcohol, prostitutes and drugs, and watch Adriel as he becomes a desolate in the wilderness.

This book will make you question the choices that you have made in your own life and will make you wonder if you would remain lost or if you would be able to come back to the other side and seek Christ again.

I will recommend this book to all of my friends, it was very eye opening and refreshing in a way.
