One summer in 1846, two brothers-in-law ride off to war. One young wife stays behind holding her three-week-old son. Three small children never see their father again. A century and a half later, a youthful and idealistic cousin fueled by his ancestors' exploits travels halfway across the world to find a war of his own, hoping to discover his own glory and fame. When he turns up Missing-in-Action, his parents' world is torn apart. Will he make his way home, or is he lost forever? This is a tale of the Mexican War and a boy that learns hearing of glory isn't the same as finding it on the battlefield. Told in alternating time frames a century and a half apart, Best Friends and Brothers is the best kind of story, one that mixes truth, legend, and what might have been, and leaves you hungry for more.
