About Victor’s Blessing
Historical fiction with a twist. Meticulously researched tale of the Civil War not about the battles but about the everyday lives of the people and told from the often neglected northern point of view from an Osage blacksmith’s unique perspective.
Victor Gant’s life is abundant with blessings. Although his mother was an Osage Indian slave, he is a valuable member of the French and German community of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. As the town blacksmith he makes a proper living for himself. He is further blessed when he marries the only woman that had ever caught his eye.
But blessings can be fleeting. When the Civil War erupts in 1861, Victor will have to make choices. Torn between doing what’s best for his family or following his conscience, between keeping promises or following his heart…to finally bestowing an agonizing blessing of his own.
Victor’s takes the reader on a historical journey from the patent offices of Washington, D.C. to the battle of Wilderness to the infamous Andersonville prison, where in order for Victor to keep one promise, another must be broken.
