“An unforgettable historical novel that captures both the heart and conscience of a nation.”

Cass County, Illinois, 1858. Nine-year-old Scrump Armstrong lives a simple life shaped by family, faith, and the quiet rhythms of rural America until the day he discovers the body of a lynched Black man on his family’s land. In an instant, the innocence of his world is shattered.

Behind closed doors, Scrump’s parents risk everything by helping freedom seekers escape through the Underground Railroad. Their home becomes a refuge of courage, but also a place of growing danger in a community where suspicion spreads quickly, and secrets can cost lives.

Then tragedy strikes closer to home. When Scrump’s beloved older brother is accused of murdering a neighbor, the town turns against them. With a hanging looming and prejudice clouding the truth, the family’s last hope lies in a desperate appeal to a trusted friend, an Illinois lawyer named Abraham Lincoln.

The Lincoln Moon by Michael Price Nelson is a gripping historical story inspired by real events, rich with suspense, courtroom drama, and powerful themes of faith, justice, and the courage to stand for what is right when a nation is divided.
