***I was not Obligated to write a review. Thoughts and Feelings are ALL MY OWN and no one forced me to word it this way.***
Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by Kristen Green so i wasnt sure what to expect, I did enjoy this book til Chapter 10 then it left me very disappointed, 

The Characters were interesting to read about, Mary Lumpkin's life was very interesting to me tho ive always been interested and intrigued learning about life during and after The Civil War Era. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Richmond, VA while reading. I have been through that area a few years ago when on vacation in Virginia with my parents but never stopped there. 

Overall it was an OK Book to read BUT i would of loved it if Kristen had explored more into the 1890s to Early 1900s instead of skipping from 1890 to 2020s otherwise i would of rated it 5 Stars!! 

IF you are wanting to learn the true story about the Civil War PLEASE go visit Gettysburg PA, Manassas VA, Harpers Ferry and Sharpsburg MD.
