Sunflower Sisters by Martha Hall Kelly, for it cheery title, brings the reader to the United States during the Civil War. The story builds on this history of the Woolsey sisters and adds the story of Jemma, a girl born in slavery in the south and Anna-May, Jemma's owner. From these three perspectives, the book studies the history and atrocities of slavery and the Civil War. It depicts the individual personal stories of these women, and through them, brings to life a tine and place in history.
