(1) YA A boy's grandmother recounts the story of her teenage years, when a steamboat brought two strangers to Grand Tower, Illinois--glamorous Delphine and her companion Calinda. The townspeople think these "Secesh gals" may be Confederate spies but the truth is far more complicated. The harsh realities of war are honestly related in the always surprising plot.
