The First Lady and the Rebel

I am so very late in reviewing this book - but I could not put this one down!
The tale of two sisters - stuck on the opposite sides of the war. The war between the states tore families apart, and even the president of the United States was not spared this tragedy. For Mary and Emily, it was a tenuous time that they were going to have to learn to navigate - as the country was upended and families were pitted against each other.

Susan Higginbotham never disappoints in her writing. This is one where you are going to need to cancel your plans, settle in, and prepare for book hangovers. Fabulous, engaging, and heartbreaking in areas - this family will work their way into your hearts.
