A powerful saga about the Civil War and the years leading up to it, Apple Hill is a brilliantly written fictional account which reads with stunning accuracy. Experience the atrocities and events through the eyes of two freed slaves and three generations of a family whose fortune is acquired through illegal and horrific means. Author Alvin Yusin's medical background lends an uncanny truth to the traumas and diseases experienced by civilians and soldiers alike in this the only war where Americans fought each other in the name of freedom for a people enslaved for no other reason than the color of their skin. Enter the world of the Blackstone family, with its patriarch, Andrew, who marries into the aristocratic Wellworth family. The fortune he makes from slave smuggling does not prevent the many catastrophic events that affect his life and the lives of his children and grandchildren. Slave smuggling, infamous battles, the plight of Negro Union soldiers, and the repercussions felt by the families of those involved are chronicled to a dramatic conclusion. Dr. Yusin is a retired developmental pediatrician with three sons and three grandchildren. He lives with his wife of 48 years in Los Angeles, California. Apple Hill is his second novel.
