This was a very exciting suspenseful story! Set right after the civil war, Caddie and her two children return to the family home, praying that the Union soldiers has left it intact. There she runs into a Yankee who looks so much like her husband who died in the war! Is he or isn't he? She also runs into her rotten brother-in-law and his wife? Who have set up house keeping, claiming the home as theirs. Manning, the Yankee, and Caddie have their ups and downs throughout the story. But thank goodness for Caddies two children, Templeton and Varina, and even the wonderful dog Sarg, who save the day more than once! Tem' and Rina' are just the sweetest young'uns you ever hope to read about! The story is so heart warming you might find yourself crying from time to time but you will also find yourself laughing. The story is written quite different than I've read in a long time, very unique! I highly recommend this book. You'll be glad you purchased it!
