Crowe - A Tale Of War, Discovery, And Spiritual Intervention

March 31, 2011 - PRLog -- CROWE, the debut novel from Joey Mills, is a historical fantasy revolving around the story of Johnny Crowe, an outsider who longs for the acceptance of the folks of the small town of Fiddler's Picket. In the spring of 1862, Johnny enlists in the Confederate Army with the hope of making something of himself and, in return, earning the respect that he yearns for.

Leaving his home on Devil's Knob as well as his beloved Anna Lee behind, Johnny travels to Richmond, Virginia, to enlist. Over the spring and summer, the war takes its toll on Johnny's mind, body, and soul. Aid comes in the form of the mysterious Mr. Scratch, who always has a solution for Johnny's predicament in his magical trunk; provided that Johnny is willing to pay the price.

Follow Johnny as he works his way up through the ranks of the Army in the process of finding his way back home to Fiddler's Picket. Will Anna Lee accept the man who comes home in place of the boy she once knew? What price is Johnny willing to pay to make it back to her? And what dark secret awaits him upon his return to Devil's Knob?

N.V. Hensey, from the Review Lounge had this to say upon reading CROWE: “In an original take on a tried and true story line, Crowe[ anchored me in with Johnny's sweet and endearing nature and pulled me along with unexpected forays wedged between wicked creatures and noble men in battles fought on land and battles fought in the soul.”
