What an absolutely incredible story! I could not quit until I had read the whole book. Carrie Fancett Pagels has written a wonderful story embracing a dark time in our nation's history. The time of the Civil War was one when families lost many loved ones and others gained the freedom they had so long desired. The author has given me a whole new insight into what that area in Virginia must have been like during the war.The Shirley Plantation is a place I would love to visit, taking the opportunity to read this story once again, while wandering the grounds. It would be such a treat to picture the old houses, the confederate and union troops, and even the slaves, who were later free, as they went about their daily tasks.With Ms. Pagels first novella, a masterful storyteller has been unearthed! I can hardly wait to read her next story!As a Civil War series, this story has made sure I will not miss the rest of Murray Pura's CRY OF FREEDOM!
