Jesse's Highway

After the Civil War, former Confederate guard Jesse Campbell carries a terrible secret: he fired the shot that killed a Union prisoner at Andersonville. Haunted by guilt, he travels to Kentucky to return the dead man's Bible and confess to the Beaudine family—and falls in love with the soldier's sister, Laurel. As his secret threatens to unravel everything, a parallel journey unfolds that could change all their lives. A tender story of remorse, forgiveness, and grace.
