Confederate and Union soldiers have taken over Gettysburg during the American Civil War. One of the residents that is caught between the gunfire and cannons is the fourteen year old Tacy. Her brother David is disabled and his biggest dream is to fight in the war. But will he be able to? Tacy tries to make sense out of all the fuss that is going on around her. Her friend Josie is in love with her brother David. The end is very tragic when David is shot and Josie reveals she is expecting a baby.
As I am a huge fan of the books by Ann Rinaldi, I was very excited to find this upcoming book by her (release date november 2010)on NetGalley. Though it wasn't my most favorite book by her, I enjoyed reading it. The story was mostly about the people around Tacy, which didn't make her a very strong main character. But I really loved her strong bond with David and her best friend Marvellous. Really recommended if you love historical fiction around the Civil War period.
