Across Five Aprils looks at Matthew Creighton's family as tensions rise between the North and the South. When war breaks out, the Creightons find the war has divided their family and created dangerous strife between neighbors. Nine-year-old Jethro suddenly finds himself the only remaining son in the family, and when his father suffers a heart attack, Jethro becomes the working man of the family. Young Jethro discovers that a man's good character can be stronger than a gun and last longer than a war.
