I found this book at the library...it was classified as a romance but it is not your stereotypical bodice-ripping romance. It is much tamer, and could maybe even be classifed as young adult, which is more my speed. :) Set in the post-Civil War South, portions were slow, but it was a generally sweet story with a happy, if a little unexpected, ending. Not an excellent book by any means, but not bad either.

This is a touching story set in the Civil War time. Not my favorite period but this was a very enjoyable book. There is a hint of paranormal, down to earth descriptions of the toils of war and a romance. Overall, it was a fun read.

A rather sweet, calm story about three sisters in the aftermath of the Civil War. They decide they need to expect good things to happen and so work together to sew a wedding dress for the youngest sister. As soon as they begin, this action impacts the people around them as well as their own lives. The conclusion of the story is very satisfactory and even romantic.
I mention that this is a "calm" story because it isn't particularly a tear-jerker even though it has some sad moments and it is "sweet" because they are a nice family and think of others more than themselves. One thing that does stand out are the "ghostly soldiers" they see around their home on a consistent basis.
