As her family hides in a cave during a Civil War battle, a girl faces a difficult choice in this "thoroughly researched and enjoyable historical novel" (
Booklist).
Claire Louise Corbett and her Confederate family flee their home as Union soldiers shell their town of Vicksburg, Mississippi. They venture out from the safety of a cave only three times a day-when the Union army takes their meals at eight in the morning, noon, and eight at night.
But while many of the townspeople suffer from a lack of food, the Corbetts receive extra rations from Claire Louise's brother, Landon, a doctor with the Union army. When Claire Louise discovers her brother tending to a Confederate soldier who was responsible for the South's defeat at the Battle of Antietam, she is forced to make a difficult choice-in this story of family, courage, and secrets during the forty-seven-day siege of Vicksburg, which also includes an epilogue, author's note, and bibliography.
"A good choice for fans of historical fiction, particularly the Civil War era."-
School Library Journal
"The family members are vividly portrayed individuals and their relationships are particularly well drawn."-
