Customer Reviews

Good historical fiction

The characters drew you in and kept you reading. The dual time line took a little adjusting to but served the story well. I learned quite a bit about the post civil war period from the experiences of the characters. I like how the main contemporary character's story tied in to the main theme of the post-civil war story.
