I'm not one for historical novels but I could barely put this one down. The time period is towards the end of the Civil War. Carrie McGravock lived on the border of the bloodest battle of the Civil War. Her home was turned into a hospital for the many wounded. It's the story of a common woman who became an amazing heroine.
