The Trials of Providence

It is the early years of America’s Civil War and the casualty count is mounting, but not just on the battlefield. In one small town, as with so many others, sons, fathers, and husbands depart for an uncertain fate. During this period, unsung heroes emerge. A daughter shares her father’s passion for humanitarian work, but the cost is great. Two slaves escape their bondage, one risking more than himself, to provide details crucial in overcoming significant disadvantages. The young, and the old, go beyond what is expected of themselves. While some come out better persons, others are left with voids that can never be filled. Many come home, but some wounds are invisible. The country still moves forward, new memories replace mournful ones, and life goes on. Be introduced to real-life men and women who sacrificed a part of themselves to serve a greater purpose despite the costs. Would you risk your own life for a stranger? Put your future in the hands of providence? What if your child wanted to be part of something bigger, what would you do?
