Synopsis


AWARD-WINNING HISTORICAL FICTION
5-Star "Award of Excellence" - Historical Fiction Company

Before PTSD had a name, they called it "nostalgia"—and Dr. Jim Banyon was the only one who believed it wasn't cowardice.

1862: The Civil War rages, and Union Army surgeon Jim Banyon arrives on the battlefield hungry for glory. But bullets and cannon fire aren't the only killers stalking his hospital tent.

Soldiers return from combat with wounds that don't bleed—invisible scars the army dismisses as weakness. Jim recognizes what no one else will: these men are suffering from something beyond cowardice, a psychological trauma that's as deadly as any bullet.

When he dares to defend these "broken" soldiers, Jim faces an impossible choice:

Advance his career by staying silent...
Or risk everything to save the men nobody else believes are worth saving.

Based on the military service of the author's Civil War ancestors, NOSTALGIA is a gripping exploration of battlefield medicine, moral courage, and the invisible wounds of war that wouldn't have a name for another century.

Perfect for readers who love:
* Civil War medical history with psychological depth
* Moral dilemma fiction (conscience vs. career)
* Award-winning literary historical fiction
* Based-on-true-story military novels
*Character-driven war fiction that questions authority

For fans of: Charles Frazier's *Cold Mountain* + Geraldine Brooks' *March* + medical drama depth of *The Nightingale*

***** "Tackles the less explored emotional experiences of war with authenticity and heart."
