lives on both sides- Story is told from a young man’s point of view
called Timmy. His dad is a pacificist and his broother Sam enrolls in the army to fight for the patriots. In the end both dad and Sam end
up getting killed by patriots even though they fought for them- dad was by mistake and brother Sam was accused of staeling by a fellow
Patriot rebel
