Correct But Wish to Explain

First in the Ethan Trilogy

After years of marching in step, what happens when the cadence is gone? At the Southern Military Institute, the Ratline teaches Ethan how to push past pain, keep his bearing, and belong. But belonging has a price. In the crucible of Post—where tradition is a language and every misstep has an audience— Ethan learns which rules matter, which don’t, and which will follow him long after he leaves the parade ground.

Correct But Wish to Explain is a clear-eyed, compassionate look at the making of a young man inside a storied Corps. Grant Hall takes readers past the uniforms and ceremonies into the private calculations of friendship, loyalty, and honor— and the moments when doing the right thing isn’t simple, or safe. It’s a story about pressure and purpose, and how the lessons of one intense year refuse to stay on Post.
