So far it is fabulous..... Ok so I just finished the book and really liked it alot. Gives the reader a real understanding of what it was like to serve in the army during the civil war; and also what it was like to be a woman seeking a career in the medical field. Great story of love, heart break, ambition, strength,and courage. I am so grateful for the men and women who lived before us and for their hopes, dreams, and courage to pursure them. This book is a historical fiction. Wonderful!
