Great for the Civil War buff.

A fascinating way to look at the Civil War. Very approachable. The book looks at some everyday and extraordinary people whose lives were forever transformed by the impact of war. Two sisters, one a staunch defender of the Union, the other a passionate advocate of the rebel cause, are traumatized by the divide the Civil War imposes.
