Victory Ruins - Paperback

by Troop Brenegar (Author)

A heartfelt story of persistence through loss, Victory Ruins asks: can we be true to ourselves through world-shaking change?

Called away to a war he never asked for, young Arlen Breckenridge goes for the sake of his family and his farm. Across the battlefields of Europe, he walks the thin line between survival and victory, hoping that he will be able to see home again.

But upon his triumphant return, everything about his beloved home has changed. Can he live in the old ways in this new world that victory set against him? Or must he give in to the outside world he and his family resisted for generations?

A new classic in the best traditions of Southern lit, Victory Ruins is a story for us today. When you know what you love, you will give up everything to protect it. But give up yourself? Or the very thing you loved? Victory Ruins is that age-old story of what we become when we give up what we love to save it.
