Seventeen-year-old Bobby Rivers disguises herself as a young man in order to fight in the Civil War. She dares this mission for two reasons: first to fight for the country she loves, and second to find her older brother who came up missing in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Bobby joins up with the 27th Infantry of Michigan Volunteers, and the story follows their real life time line though many battles including The Crater and The Wilderness. On her quest, Bobby finds herself also battling issues within herself, like fear, trust, strength, morality, and falling in love.
