Sophie Dawson's "Leah's Peace" is historically-accurate fiction that transports a reader to post-Civil War Colorado. The story revolves around several survivors of the battle between the North and South. The main character named Leah longs to put her trauma from the war behind her but she soon realizes that the scars in her heart are not so easily healed.I very much enjoyed the variety of characters in this novel and felt like I learned so much about this era in history. It is a fascinating look at life in early Colorado and a book that drew me back each time I had to pause in my reading. Looking forward to the sequel.
