A really wonderful book that I would suggest is called
'Annie, Between States' by Laura Elliot. The setting
is back in the Civil War. Annie is a young lady with
huge responsibilities. She has trouble keeping her
family together, especially when tragedy strikes
repeatedly, involving her two brothers, and mother.
She also doesn't quite know what side to support,
her home side or the side she cant see is much different
that her own. When she befriends a man from the
"enemy side" she discovers what her mother means
about war turning even the best people to war, and
that just because they aren't on "your side" doesn't
mean they aren't human and don't have lives some
where behind them. Laura Elliot really captures the
reader and holds them until the last line!! I really
suggest this book, it is AMAZING.
