This book was given to me by BookFun.org in exchange for a fair and honest review - Murray Pura has captured a vivid picture of life during the Civil War. The reader is quickly drawn into the lives of one family torn apart by the war. They are given a special gift of one day to be together to forget the horrors and struggles. The story is well written to let the reader embrace what the characters are feeling. This would be a great short story to use in teaching children about the "human" side of war.
