A loan from a neighbor who is a friend of the author. Civil War novel about an Alabama man who enlists to fight with the Yankees. Told from the view of his 14 year old daughter. The rebels call him a traitor and the Yankees view him with suspicion. Makes it hard on the family back home. Felt like I was reading a Little House On The Prairie book with all the Ma's and Pa's. Don't think this was meant to be a children's book but that's how it comes across. I actually enjoy reading children's classics but this is just not well written. Time to lie again and tell the neighbor how good it was.
Grade - D
next up - What Happened by Scott McClellan
