The Bugle is Silent
(The Bugle Is Silent is the story of Sabrina Farris, growi...)
The Bugle Is Silent is the story of Sabrina Farris, growing up in rural Kentucky, living through the turmoils of the War Between the States, and how the war affected her family, friends, and neighbors. The shattering experiences of having suffered the Battle of Perryville, that chanced upon an agrarian people touched everyone. The battle between North and South troops was fought in fields, valleys and hills of the countryside. The local civilians' stalwartness helps them overcome the worst of it. The story is told through the eyes of a young girl. This historical-fiction novel is interlaced with good times, as well as wanton crimes, violent physical attacks, misery, sex, and compassion. Even benevolence comes forth, as the torn apart families unite to take care of the wounded soldiers who filled their homes. In its more subtle moments it is a love story that lifts itself above everything else.
