Road to the Breaking - Bennett Chris

Nothing survived 'The Breaking' unchanged; lives and fortunes, love and hate, freedom and slavery ...

​

It's early 1860, and war hero Captain Nathaniel Chambers, commander U.S. Army Fort Davis in the west Texas wilderness, has received shocking news - his father is dead. He must return home to Virginia and claim his inheritance before a maniacal neighbor can murder his widowed mother and seize the family plantation.

​

But he's torn by a terrible dilemma - to stay in the army and turn his back on his fortune, his mother and his beloved childhood home, or become the thing he despises; a slave master! Is there no other choice? 

​

An epic journey across a young nation seething with debauchery, brutality, corruption, and political intrigue, unwittingly on the brink of an unimaginable disaster; the American Civil War. Nathan Chambers has left the violent army life behind in Texas, never imagining he's on the very 'Road to The Breaking'.
