Miss Lizzie's War: The Double Life of Southern Belle Spy Elizabeth Van Lew
"Miss Lizzie's Waris a strong pick for historical fiction."  Midwest Book ReviewWhile Richmond, Virginia suffers through the American Civil War, the wealthy Elizabeth Van Lew supports the war effort - for the Union. I enjoyed this novel about one of the Civil War's most famous female spies . . . Although most of the story is told from Lizzie's point of view, we occasionally see the action through the eyes of soldiers, the Confederate first family, and assorted Richmonders as well, which adds to the depth of the story. An inspiring novel about a courageous woman. Historical Fiction Society, Aug. 2012.
