–(PR.com)– Kittredge
McKee
has
completed
her
new
book,
“Return”:
an
immersive
historical
novel
set
in
the
harsh
and
tumultuous
landscape
of
the
Nebraska
Territory
during
the
American
Civil
War,
weaving
together
the
stories
of
several
compelling
characters—each
struggling
with
their
own
battles—against
the
backdrop
of
a
nation
in
turmoil.

“Early
in
the
spring
of
1864,
life
suddenly
becomes
complicated,
and
more
than
a
little
confusing,
for
Corporal
Thomas
Buchanan,”
writes
McKee.
“Returning
to
Fort
Kearny
along
the
Overland
Road,
after
a
brief
posting
at
Fort
Laramie,
Corporal
Buchanan
stops
at
Fort
Cottonwood.
Expecting
a
simple
visit
with
old
friends,
the
corporal,
instead,
finds
himself
thrust
into
an
odd
and
troublesome
assignment
by
the
commander
of
the
fort.

“As
a
result,
Buchanan
must
embark
on
a
complex
and
difficult
journey,
fraught
with
unexpected
twists
and
turns.
It
is
a
ninety-mile
journey
that
will
test
his
mind
and
his
mettle
every
step
of
the
way
as
he
returns
to
Fort
Kearny.”

As
Corporal
Buchanan
embarks
on
his
journey,
readers
will
also
follow
the
lives
of
Captain
Jack
Connell,
who
struggles
to
restore
order
at
Fort
Kearny,
Lieutenant
Frank
Halliday,
who
fights
to
protect
his
marriage
and
leadership
role,
and
Frankie
Harding,
who
finds
herself
confronting
the
ghosts
of
her
past
as
she
works
to
build
a
life
in
the
Sand
Hills.
