Shades Of Gray by Carolyn Reeder
A Novel of the Civil War
Set in the aftermath of the American Civil War, this poignant story follows twelve-year-old Will Page, who is sent to live with his uncle's family in Virginia after losing his immediate family to the war. Initially harboring resentment towards his uncle, whom he perceives as a coward for not fighting, Will's perspective begins to shift as he learns about the complexities of courage, loyalty, and survival. Through his experiences on the farm and interactions with his new family, Will discovers that life is not always black and white, and that understanding and empathy can bridge the divide between differing beliefs and experiences.
