THE PERILOUS ROAD

The story of the Civil War from a boy's perspective takes listeners along with a young Rebel as he goes from hating the Yankees to realizing they aren't much different from him and his family. Sounding neither young nor Southern, Ramon de Ocampo fails to deliver the character of Chris believably. But listeners who focus on the story of the painful deprivation and suffering on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line will be introduced to a realistic portrayal of our nation's greatest conflict.
