A Voice from the Border

(4) YA Belying the simplistic distinctions made between Union and Confederate supporters, fifteen-year-old Reeves O'Neill shares a complex portrait of life in Missouri during the Civil War. Reeves describes her family's ties and her own relationships with Americans--both black and white--of different political or personal loyalties. While her voice and story are refreshing, modern sensibilities seep into this historical novel.
