(4) 4-6 In antebellum Virginia, Evvy's fourteenth birthday means she must become a lady, but this spirited eldest of six daughters resents the trappings. Over the next four years, the family boarding school, Quaker relatives, family secrets, the Underground Railroad, and the war itself allow her feminist tendencies to flourish. Many characters represent multiple issues--possibly too many of both--but the narrative is tight. Bib.
