Another man was sent to fight in the Civil war in your place. Do you care? You were forced to go to war for another man. How do you get revenge?
Merritt Moran is on a train. The bottle in his cloak is empty. His clothes stink. He can’t clear his mind of the woman from his past. The woman in the white dress. He knows his father sent another man to fight in his place, and the war turned that person from a cared innocent to an angry killer who brought revenge on Merritt’s family. Merritt must find that man for his own redemption. But where is the man? Maybe, just maybe, he’s somewhere on Peace River.
In Peace River, two men’s lives take different arcs. One descends from innocent immigrant to savage survivor. The other turns from spoiled worthlessness to merit. The paths eventually collide amid murder and the tragedy and carnage of the U. S. Civil War.

"We find it to be a compelling novel that presents lesser known facts about the Civil War, and life in Florida during that period. The novel has intriguing fictional characters set in historically accurate settings and situations." -- Florida Historical Society
“Eliot Kleinberg is a respected historian and a Florida treasure. His new book, Peace River, will fascinate and raise questions about a dark and creative period of Florida history.” — Gary R. Mormino, Professor emeritus of History, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg
