When a Civil War reenactment in Texas turns deadly, retired veteran Harlan Cole witnesses the shot that nobody can explain — and nobody wants to tell the truth about. With his twelve-year-old grandson Davis and a journalist named Riley Shaw, Harlan drives north through a country coming apart at the seams, carrying seventeen seconds of footage that could change everything.
THE BLUE AGAINST THE GRAYS is a novel about what happens when a nation that has been rehearsing its own destruction finally stops rehearsing. It’s about the feed that fed the fire, the men who believed what it told them, and the ones who didn’t — and what it costs both sides to live in the same valley afterward.
A story about truth. About what gets written down. About sunflowers that come back every April whether anyone is watching or not.
“Your truth is the most dangerous phrase in the modern language.” A second American civil war. No uniforms from a real army. No clear sides. Just neighbors, a feed full of lies, and one man who saw what actually happened.
