I was taken in by this book the moment that I opened its cover. I love this author's writing style, and loved the setting of the Civil War era, in Iowa. Funny, but I used to live near where this fictional town was located and my town was mentioned several times! Very powerful and moving book, written as letters to a sister.

I loved this book. It was written in a great style - letters from one sister to another. Through her letters you see her mature and know the struggles she faced during the time her husband was away as a soldier during the Civil War. Some of the letters made you smile and some made you cry - altogether I would definitely recommend this book.
