What a great read...Civil War story, destitute family under terrible circumstances being held together by the oldest sister (who isn't very old), terrible living conditions...makes Gone With the Wind look like a good-time book! I guess I had never thought about the refuge camps during Civil War time. I really liked the main character who was trying to do the right thing even though it wasn't always possible.
Rating: 8 out of 10.

I'm glad you enjoyed HEARTS OF STONE! When I first learned how many people in the south were left homeless during the war, and about the refugee camps, I knew I wanted to write about it. You can learn more about my experiences researching and writing the book at http://www.kathleenernst.com/HeartsOfStonestory.htm
Happy reading,
