An innocent child. A nation defined by slavery. A trial that could end a life. A future president.
Illinois, 1858. Nine-year-old Scrump Armstrong is blissfully unaware of tensions rising in the country and spends his days helping his family work the farm and caring for his animals. But when he stumbles across runaway slave lynched in a tree, his world changes forever. The little farm becomes a secret stop along the Underground Railroad and soon Scrump fears suspicious neighbors could uncover the family's dangerous secret.
Scrump's hero is nineteen-year old Duff, his big brother. So Scrump is terrified when Duff is wrongfully arrested for killing a neighbor and ordered to stand trial. His brother's life, the family, their future - it's all on the line if secrets come out. The stakes couldn't be higher.
That's why Scrump's father summons a man from his past. Because he knows he's the only one who can save them. And as the trial begins, it's Abraham Lincoln for the defense.
The Lincoln Moon is a heartwarming historical fiction. If you like tales based on true events, mysteries, compelling court drama, and faith-filled characters living through difficult days, then you'll love Michael Price Nelson's captivating page-turner. Approximately 294 pages.
