There is such depth to Cheryl Reavis' books and this one is no exception. Caroline Holt bartered her freedom for a name for her unborn child. Frederich bartered away his freedom to get a mother for his two little girls.
From the opening words in this book, the story keeps the reader turning pages. It takes place during one of my favorite time frames -- the Civil War. This story brings the war to the forefront when Confederate soldiers conscript the local farmers into service after church one Sunday.
This story might not be for everyone; the author shows just how difficult life was for an unwed mother (even after she marries to give her baby a name). The war years adds another measure of grief to the lives of all who lived at that time.
