About this listen
In the 1840s to '50s America, both photography and embalming the dead came into standard practice. On the autism spectrum, Osborn Roche is a well-respected postmortem and battlefield photographer during the civil war. He and his nephew Ray travel with the Union army, photographing battlefields and doing portraits for the soldiers.
When Osborn meets Lou, a young woman dressed as a man to work as an embalmer for the Union army, he is drawn to her beautiful, flickering, golden-brown irises, a condition known as nystagmus and also a condition Osborn's mother had. Only a day later, he sees that Lou is also on the autism spectrum as he is, and they become best friends.
Lou works with her famous father Henry Cattell, a true historical man and embalmer of President Lincoln and his son Willy. From misinformation, Henry has strong feelings that his daughter should never marry or have children due to her condition. When he thinks their friendship may blossom into courtship, Henry threatens Osborn and takes Lou away. Having been picked on his whole life and never having a friend before, Osborn is broken without her, but goes on with Ray back to the Union army.
By accidentally being in the middle of the battle of Corinth, he becomes a very famous photographer with a published book of it. He and Ray attend his war photography book signing, and Lou shows up in line with her uncle Ben. Ben explains that her father would have Lou sterilized by a surgical procedure and that he needs to get her away. Lou runs off with Osborn, his nephew Ray, and a runaway slave named Abigail, all heading back to their home in Pittsburgh, but are pursued by the Union army.
Along the way, Osborn and Lou decide to marry to thwart Henry's claim. Henry convinces the authorities that Lou's condition is insanity and that she has no idea what she's doing. Lou and Osborn must escape again, but this time to Indian territory, a place they should never be found.

Story
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Story
Joni had always been fascinated by the history of her family’s old antebellum plantation. Her ancestor’s journals were filled with stories, many involving two slave girls, the older of whom was deeply involved in the “red magic” of the Bokors. When Messalina returns from the grave on a quest of vengeance, Joni must confront the wickedness of her own family’s past, while also embracing a truth even more ancient—that she is descended from a line of Druids. Joni is the only one who stands between Messalina and her insidious plans.

Union soldier John Chenneville suffered a traumatic head wound in battle. His recovery took the better part of a year as he struggled to regain his senses and mobility. By the time he returned home, the Civil War was over, but tragedy awaited. John’s beloved sister and her family had been brutally murdered. Their killer goes by many names. He fought for the North in the late unpleasantness, and wore a badge in the name of the law. But the man John knows as A. J. Dodd is little more than a rabid animal, slaughtering without reason or remorse, needing to be put down.

Of The Lion of St. Mark, G.A.

The great state of Texas is a land of opportunity. For outlaws. And horse thieves. And cattle rustlers. Not to mention bank robbers, train robbers, and anything-that-ain’t-nailed-down robbers. The state’s governor, Richard B. Hubbard, is at the end of his rope. He wants to clean up Texas once and for all—and he’s desperate enough to try something crazy: hire a man who can do what the Texas Rangers can’t. A man not tied down by a wife or children. Or rules. Who’s not afraid to go outside the law.

‘Collodion’ audiobook has it all and Greg Morgan develops this storyline much in the same way as Osborn Roche, the Civil War and post mortem photographer tells a story through his pictures.
