About this product

Product Information

The peaceful Southern life that Emma Simpson and her family have always known is shattered when the Civil War begins. Emma's father and brother are called to battle, but her family believes the Confederacy will quickly win the War between the States. However, as the months drag on, the harsh realities of war set in: Supplies, medicine, food, firewood, and ink for Emma to use in her diary become increasingly scarce as troops from the North march deeper into the South. Finally, even Emma's home is commandeered by the Yankees. Though she faces many hardships and the horrors of death, Emma never loses hope, and, with a brave spirit, she comes to realize what things in life are most important.

Good, Not As Bad As My Heart is on the Ground and The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow
The author did quite a bit of research. He researched the time period and had his motivations behind having the daughter of plantation owners. However, he took artistic license with their slaves being taught to read and write, which was illegal during the time of the Civil War. And he Historical Villain Downgrades their contribution to the evils African Americans in slavery faced. On the plus side, he allows many of their slaves to escape from their plantation. Nor does he downplay the ugliness several of their family members and friends display towards the Yankees.
