Books A to Z 
I think the historical aspect is very interesting and the chance to see the civil War through the eyes of a young woman. That’s an unusual perspective on that war. Thanks.
The idea of a young girl running away to join an army in that time period is an intriguing premise,
Thanks for sharing and letting me stop by. Emma and her adventures are dear to my heart! Here’s hoping readers learn something new.
