fascinating historical novel with colorful characters

This is a wonderful historical novel about the Civil War & Mexican & Texas wars of independence, written from the viewpoint of a young Mexican girl living in Texas. Seeing historical figures such as the colorful Sam Houston and Ulysses S. Grant through the eyes of the young girl who is their friend gives you an entirely different perspective on these people than you get from a history text. BTW, I usually despise war novels & don't usually read historical novels either. I ran across an excerpt from the book in the newspaper & got hooked.
