In this timeless, mythical tale of unforgiving justice and elusive grace, rural Mississippi townsfolk shoulder the pain of generations as something dangerous lurks in the enigmatic kudzu of the woods. The town of Red Bluff, Mississippi, has seen better days, though those who've held on have little memory of when that was. Myer, the county's aged, sardonic lawman, still thinks it can prove itself. When confronted by a strange family of drifters, the sheriff believes that the people of Red Bluff can be accepting, rational, even good. The opposite is true. 

Young Luke Pettigrew, a hero at the Battle of Shiloh, awakens in the bedroom of an unfamiliar Tennessee farmhouse - with no immediate memory of what brought him there. The only thing he knows with certainty, is that his life will never be the same. Smith takes listeners on a (historically accurate) wild ride through the end days of the American Civil War with Luke coming-of-age while exploring themes of addiction, love, and self worth. As the Civil War draws to a close, so does Luke's lifetime of searching. Ultimately, he finds redemption in the least likely of places.

For many, their only hope of salvation came in the form of a small, bespectacled British man: Frank Foley.

Described by a Jewish leader as "the Pimpernel of the Jews," Foley was an unsung hero of the Holocaust.
