I Shall Be Near You by Erin Lindsay McCabe
This is a superb historical fiction
account of the civil war. This story has
a cast of interesting and complex characters.
The main character is a woman who disguises herself as a man to join her
husband in the Union army. It details
historical fact while weaving in emotionally charged circumstances that she finds
herself in. She faces moral dilemnas
such as like having to shoot another human being to save another, bringing
water to a dying Confederate soldier, having mercy on a spy, lying about who
she is to stay with the man she loves. There
is adventure, intrigue, romance and selflessness portrayed throughout this
tale. It is a definite, without a doubt
a 5 star book!
I received this book free from booklook
and was not required to write a favorable review.
