Little Birdie
Esther Sullivan has no idea how much she will lose from the Civil War or how much she will gain.
The war becomes real to Esther when her brother David leaves their Pennsylvania farm to join Lincoln’s army. Her father’s faith and strength help her through the trying days ahead, but when he is drafted and then captured by the Confederates, she feels incredibly alone. Leaving a home haunted with memories, Esther joins a field hospital unit and nurses wounded soldiers. She finds her brother’s captain, Daniel Armstrong, dying from a bullet wound infection and ignored by the doctors. She had saved his life once before, and maybe, with God’s help, she can save it again.
Join Esther on her journey to womanhood through the confusing and heartbreaking years of the Civil War. The compelling, realistic relationships in her life bring humor, adventure, grief, faith, and romance as she cares for others, despite all she has lost.
