Comstock is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on a young boy named Andy McNeal, who struggles with physical limitations but yearns to serve his country and prove his bravery. The narrative explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the complexities of loyalty against the backdrop of a tumultuous historical period. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Andy McNeal and his mother, Janie, who bears the burden of regret over her son's lameness, feeling he cannot contribute to the fight for freedom like other young men. As tensions rise with the presence of British forces nearby, tragic news about the death of a local soldier stirs something within Andy, awakening his desire to take action and serve. Encouraged by his friend, Ruth, he undertakes a secretive journey that leads him to meet important figures, including George Washington. The opening sets the stage for a young boy's unfolding journey of self-discovery, as he grapples with societal expectations and his personal dreams of heroism amidst conflict and loss.
