Shenandoah is the eighth book in a series of historical novels spanning the Civil War and describing its
effects on one Southern family.
The last half of 1863 has taken a toll on the Brannon family, but a Christmas lull in the fighting brings home Mac
and Will as well as Titus, the son believed to have been killed in the war. Though his return is joyous news, Titus
is devastated when he finds his wife remarried and pregnant. In his bitterness, he unleashes a personal war on
the new family.
Will returns to duty and is swept into the fighting in the Wilderness. For a time, Mac is with him, but a Federal
raid near Richmond propels the Confederate cavalry toward the crossroads at Yellow Tavernand destiny. Of the
two brothers left at the Brannon farm, now behind enemy lines, one seeks vengeance on the Yankees fighting in
the Shenandoah Valley.
James Reasoner, a veteran writer of historical fiction, is the author of several volumes in the Civil War Battle series as well as the Wagons West series. He lives near Azle, Texas.
Lloyd James hails from the Midwest. He received a B.A. in theater from a small liberal-arts college in New Mexico. He acts in the theater when his schedule permits and spends much of his free time working in his garden. He lives in Virginia with his wife and son.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did.
Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
