"I really enjoyed this book even as an adult. It gives a fictional account of a young woman during the time of the civil war who is a Quaker. When both her parents pass away she is sent to live with her aunt and uncle and 2 cousins in North Carolina. It talks about slavery, the civil war, Lincoln, and gives a good account of how people lived back then. I would recommend it for any classroom covering the civil war."
