The sequel to Elsie’s Girlhood follows the devout Elsie Dinsmore into marriage and motherhood just as the Civil War breaks over her family and friends. Finley sets out to show the suffering on both sides, while guerrilla bands roam the countryside and characters of every allegiance face grief, danger and tests of faith.

A key volume in the famous Elsie series; its view of slavery and Southern plantation life is that of a sentimental 1870s author. Download the free EPUB.
