SOLVED. YA book I read in 6th grade in 2008, only cover known. [s]

Hello! I found a picture in my 6th grade yearbook, circa 2008, where I am reading a book. I cannot make out the title nor author, and I do not believe I was reading it for an assignment. All I have is the cover, which is here:

Does anyone recognize this? I've searched every variation of "period dress girl book cover" and "victorian dress book cover" known to man.

Oh my goodness, you sent me down SUCH an image-search rabbit hole! This would have been easier if I'd read more historical fiction and/or knew my fashion better, but anyway, I struck gold with "YA Fiction Set in the 1860s" (sometimes there really is a Listopia for everything) and it looks like this is The River Between Us by Richard Peck.

You're the best, I cannot believe you found it!! I shouldn't have stuck to strict fashion terms.
