Inspirado en la historia real de Michael Dougherty...

A un joven irlandés le arrebatan la inocencia cuando se ve obligado a decir adiós a todo y a todos los que conoce.

Michael Dougherty prometió una vida mejor. Un techo sobre su cabeza y una chica guapa a su lado no cumplirían la promesa que se hizo a sí mismo y a su familia. Por otro lado, Bridget Lawless no es solo una chica guapa. Ella fue quien robó el corazón de Michael y la razón de su ruina.

Con pasión en el corazón y orgullo en la mirada, Michael sigue su destino hasta los campos de batalla de la Guerra Civil estadounidense. Casi muerto en el maizal de Antietam, atrapado en las llamas de "El Incendio" y emboscado en medio del río Shenandoah, lucha por el amor y la libertad.

Las relaciones se rompen, se pierden vidas y toda esperanza se desvanece.

¿Acaso el peso del mundo caerá sobre Michael Dougherty? ¿O se convertirá en un hombre capaz de vencer todas las adversidades?

A book for the tweens and teens.

Clear The Way isn’t anything like Stephen Crane's classic, The Red Badge of Courage, other than its Civil War plot, but it reminded me of that book in so many ways. The Red Badge of Courage, published in 1865, thirty years after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Three decades had passed, but the American Civil War, the bloodiest war in American History, was still fresh in memory when Stephen Crane wrote The Red Badge of Courage. One hundred and twenty-seven years had passed before Kellie May published Clear the Way, yet she writes with such authority that I felt like she was Crane’s contemporary.This may be a work of historical fiction, but the research that went into writing it was meticulous and makes it read like actual history. May nails the character of the real historical figures that make appearances in this tale, as well as the nature of historical sites like Andersonville, the Confederate prisoners of war prison. In some ways, I felt as if I had ridden that well-known DeLorean back in time and was right there in the heat of battle with The Dragoons.This is a great work of historical fiction, but no book is perfect. I felt let down by the ending. It didn’t end the way I had envisioned it ending. Was it a good ending? I’ll let you decide that for yourself after reading the story.

Civil war

War is sterilized a bit but with the truth of loss. I found South in this book was basically demonized (there were good people who fought on both sides) other than one comment mentioning them being fathers, brother's as well. However I could see somewhat seeing the "enemy" that way.Other than those 2 points book was heartfelt and drew you in. I cried when certian characters didn't make it. Good read.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

great start to the Becoming Michael Daugherty series

This was a great start to the Becoming Michael Daugherty series, it had everything that I enjoyed from the Teen Warriors series. I enjoyed the historical elements and getting to know the real person behind the story. It had everything that I was hoping for from Kellie May and I’m glad I read this.
