Behind the official historical documents and studied texts, there are countless families whose lives were forever altered by atrocities and ruthlessness of war. Jordan's War is the story of Jordan Sinclair, a fourteen-year-old boy whose family endures and eventually triumphs during one of the most turbulent times in American history.
In the exciting conclusion, staples get scarce as the war continues, but the Sinclair family carries on as best they can. Worry grows when word comes that Jordan's older brother is taken prisoner by the rebels and the family is divided even more when another Sinclair enlists.
While news of a territory secession and a new state of West Virginia, those on the border with Virginia and have family serving the rebel cause are angered by the betrayal, the Sinclair stay close to home but even that doesn't keep them safe as the bloody battle comes to them.
