I enjoyed this book (#3) in the continuing saga of life before the Civil War (#1) and immediately following (#2-4). While historical, addressing reconstruction, reversal of fortune and race issues after the war, it is hard to remember this is a novel. Somewhere in the south after the war, all of these challenges were occurring. The strong female characters develop through the series as a necessity for survival. I devoured this four book series by Michael Phillips. You will too if you love history, particularly the Civil War era.
