Helpful Score: 1
My favorite Kaye Gibbons book. This is Emma's story of life before and mostly during the Civil War. She tells us how her life was shaped by her abusive father and her loving mother in a household runned by slaves. Her escape from this environment and life after her marriage was spent suffering through the war with her doctor husband, sacrificing for the injured troops they nursed and for those they buried. A very compelling story.
