"Run the Blockade" by G. Clifton Wisler tells the story of a young boy named Billy, who lives in the tumultuous era of the American Civil War. As hostilities escalate, Billy finds himself torn between loyalty to his Southern community and his growing understanding of the conflict's moral complexities. When his father is captured and imprisoned, Billy embarks on a dangerous journey to rescue him, navigating through enemy lines and facing personal dilemmas that challenge his beliefs. Along the way, he encounters friendship, bravery, and the harsh realities of war, ultimately discovering what it means to stand up for one's convictions.
