When her father leaves to record the events of the Civil War for posterity, Carrie Ann Bell takes responsibility for her mother and sisters and her father's small town newspaper. When her younger sister runs off with a traveling peddler, it's up to Carrie to find her and bring her back home. Her childhood friend Joshua tries to dissuade her and warn her of the dangers she will face. Carrie is determined to disguise herself and travel north in search of her sister.
Colonel Peyton Collier has no choice but to arrest the independent minded spitfire in order to protect her. Soon the aftermath each battle brings to the surgeon's tent wears on her compassionate heart and Peyton must find a way to keep her safe before the next big battle erupts.
This is the first title I've read by Andrea Boeshaar and I look forward to reading more of her work! This is an excellent Civil War novel, full of drama, suspense, romance, and a splash of humor.

I received this book through bookfun.org in exchange for my honest review.
