He wrapped his arms around her holding her tightly. "Mary Ann, I have two wonderful reasons for never wanting to walk out that door," he whispered. "At the same time, they are the two chief reasons that compel me to leave and go off to war. The conflict in me is almost unbearable. I want so much to stay but know my duty is to go. This is pain I have never felt before." As Josiah Brackin leaves his beloved wife and baby, he enters the Civil War and must prepare for the painful hardships that are to come. In his life as a soldier, he must walk for miles days at a time, wearing out his boots and having to walk barefoot, leaving a bloody path behind him. There are few tents, so he sleeps on the bare ground in the rain and cold with only a thin blanket. His clothing becoming ragged and thin, he faces filth, starvation, thirst, and the horrors of battle. Kathy Stickney's novel For Those I Love features the story of the brothers, cousins, and townsmen who fight together in the Civil War and face the anguish of seeing loved ones wounded or killed. Only their faith in God and love for their families back home can sustain them and enable them to keep fighting.
