A House Divided

Raphaella Pipenhagen
 

   Is faith enough to carry you through?
  At the close of 1860, the Müller family could feel the tension brewing around them, but they never imagined what lay ahead. No one could have guessed that in less than a year, their happy family would be ripped apart.
  Timothy Müller always thought that his faith was strong, but as the storm around him grows, he finds himself wondering if it is strong enough. His prayers for peace and unity seem to go unheard and unanswered. He can only watch, helpless, as the nation and his family are divided. Their country is torn in two and its citizens arming themselves for battle. His family is slowly being ripped apart as their opposing convictions alienate them from each other. Does God even hear him? Has He abandoned them all? When the storm finally breaks and life as he has known it is destroyed, how will he ever find the faith to trust the Lord again?
​​  Set in nineteenth-century Fredericksburg, Virginia, the work of historical fiction portrays the War Between the States from a different perspective: a Christian perspective, and also gives a glimpse into the seldom-mentioned chapter of the Civil War: the civilian experience.
