"An impressive book both as a historically authenticated Civil War novel and as a beautifully written family story....The realistic treatment of the intricate emotional conflicts within a border-state family is superb. The details of battles and compaigns are deftly integrated into letters and conversations, and the characters are completely convincing." UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS
