This book was given to me by BookFun.org in exchange for a fair and honest review. Ms. Pagels immediately draws the reader into the middle of the civil war and through her characters we feel the struggles of families torn apart by the two sides. The setting of Shirley Plantation was common in the south during these years and the reader gets a clear picture of life through the eyes of the slaves. The story has several twists and turns in the plot that keeps the reader interested and wanting more. This story is a great way to experience the civil war era and I look forward to reading more in the series.
