The story of Annabelle, a young Confederate girl coming into her womanhood during the Civil War, is one of the most well written fiction novels I have ever read. The author does a magnificent job keeping the reader on the edge of their seat throughout the entire piece. The struggle for Annabelle to find her father, coming to terms with the hardships of war and loss of life, the mixed emotions towards a Union spy and the mystery of a murder in her small town makes this story grab the reader and suck them into 1863 Virginia. McMath uses historical battles and information to weave a fictional masterpiece. The reader can't help but feel the way Annabelle does by the end of the novel. As a teacher, I have read this book to my own History students 3 years in a row; each year, they are engrossed in the story.
