This is an awesome book. I have bought several copies for family members through the years. I have gotten rave reviews from each of them. They have all said it is the type of book you don't want to put down. This one for my Granddaughter. Part of the book is based on the area where we live. The author Paulette Jiles and the descriptions she used is very accurate. While reading you can actually visualize the places shes talking about. A very well written, enjoyable novel.

Unbelievably well crafted book! Every paragraph, every sentence is like the stroke of a brush of a master artist, except it paints a vivid picture in the mind, not the eyes. I can't wait to read her other books.

Gripping story of a young woman from SE Missouri that takes place during the Civil War. Paints a very clear picture of what happened to many people during this time of trouble. The story has historical excerpts throughout. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in American history, especially Civil War history. I live in the area that the story is set in which made it all the more real to me.
