  “Powerful and poignant true account of a family in New England, the South and the Caribbean. Struggles of loyalties during the Civil War and through marriages. ”

  “There was certainly thorough research of pre and post Civil War eras evident in this non-fiction book, but in my opinion it would have been more interesting if it were presented as fiction. It was repetitious and bland reading the same dilemma the captain's wife endureduntil nearly the end. Letters & facts didn't do it for me, although I was re-acquainted with racial relations prevalent during this period.”

  “This is a very interesting story about a young woman in pre and post-civil war times and her struggle to survive and conflicts with race. Much content is from actual letters to her family.”
