A Dream of Kings

A DREAM OF KINGS is a novel of Civil War Days; an intense, lyric projection of Tom Christopher's growth to manhood, and a deeply moving love story. Tom Christopher is an orphan, raised by his Aunt Sarah in a West Virginia river town. He shares a strange, lonely childhood with a girl whom Sarah Holmbrook has also taken in, Cathie. Through their early years these two children are sustained by their dream of a glowing God-like figure who never appears in the novel and yet pervades it—Abijah, Cathie
