The war is closing in on Pennsylvania. Abram and Thomas, the two oldest sons of the Lapp family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, have a decision to make. Both want to support their country, yet only one of them can go for their father needs their help with the farm work. Leaving their family farm to join with the militia in Harrisburg means more than just risking death on the battle field. It means a certain spiritual death among their Amish family and community as the Amish are staunch pacifists. How do two brothers make the decision and what happens to the loved ones left behind? Sarah Price, best-selling author of Amish Christian Romances, explores the aftermath of such a decision in Gettysburg's Chosen Sons. Based in part on her own family history when her great-great-great-granduncle (pictured on the cover) left his Mennonite family to fight at Gettysburg, Ms. Price explores the emotional turmoil of what happens to those left at the farm, worried and wondering about the safety of their loved ones on the battlefront.
