Summary: My version of Charles Dickens’ famous story, as written for the 2016 BoNaNo Challenge. It doesn’t strictly follow the original story in style or detail, but rather borrows from the idea. Thank you to the fun group of writers who participated as it was the first time I have done anything like that.

SUMMARY:  It’s December of 1864 and Joe is conscripted, but Adam goes in his place.  It is a tumultuous ten months and that scripture reading that seemed so ominous seems to come true.  Chapter 1 is my NaNoWriMo novel, Revelations, for 2015 and just barely made the minimum number of words at 53,434 and that’s why there’s that little romance at the end. It’s a little lightness too in a story that has a lot of darkness in it.  The second chapter is the sequel, Love Never Ends, with the emphasis on Adam’s adjustment to being at home and being in a romantic relationship that has to develop amid turmoil and threats to his life.
