Sister From the Other Side Nancy Gooding

They were more than sisters. They were best friends.

War led them to face choices they never thought they would have to make.

Etta Sue Compton and Jennifer Bolinger were more than sisters; they were best friends. Family meant everything to them. They were confident that nothing could ever change their loyalty. This confidence was soon to be challenged in ways they could not have imagined. The war at their doorstep forces them to face conflicts that alter their political conviction, challenge their religious beliefs, and strain their faith. Unsure of what they believe, each sister is faced with a dilemma. Circumstances demand they make decisions that are life or death. Should their loyalty be to Lincoln and the Union or Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy? Peace only comes as they abide in the moral law of love that is higher than any earthly government. Not knowing if these decisions will end in death, prison, or freedom, they both follow their heart and trust in God.
