This is a novel about Andersonville, a prison in Georgia that held Union soldiers during the Civil War. It mainly revolves around three main characters- Southern belle Violet, prison sentry Dance, and Corporal Emery. Each tries in their own way to help the inmates.

I found the book interesting, but somewhat gruesome. This is a war story, and the author warned the reader at the beginning that there were "disturbing descriptions of prison life and conditions". The overall story was decent but seemed disjointed. There were too many characters for me to keep track of and I couldn't get into the story like I had expected.
