April Morning is a 1961 novel by Howard Fast, about Adam Cooper's coming of age during the Battle of Lexington. One critic notes that in the beginning of the novel Adam is "dressed down by his father, misunderstood by his mother and plagued by his brother." In the backdrop are the peaceful people of Lexington, forced "to go into a way of war that they abhorred." In 1987, a film version was made for television starring Chad Lowe as Adam and Tommy Lee Jones as Moses.
