I learned a huge amount about writing from this book. In terms of the U.S. history—more things than I could discuss. Perhaps one of the stranger things I discovered was the ability to tune into another time: to discuss things with a high level of detail—detail I thought I didn't know until I fact-checked and saw that I had it right.

This book was a little slow at times but I really enjoyed it. It's really just the story of a girl growing up during the civil war time- but it has a lot more to it. I thought it was well written.

I was disappointed in this book in that it was classified as a historical romance and there was not any romance in it except puppy love/friendship of the characters when they were children. The author spent way too much time detailing stuff that was really not that important. I skiped over some of the details of things and did not miss it. Historically it was good to read about how people lived. I always like to learn that stuff.

This was a beautifully written book about the Civil War era and the years after.
A slow read but worth the time and effort.

I read this book a good while back, and although I didn't remember the name, I always remembered the story itself, which says a lot about a book. I did some searching, figured out what it was, and now I really want to read it again!

I read The Whole and Snowball's Chance, which were way far out, man. Is this really the same author? Is this a joke?
