Sunflower Sisters A Novel - Woolsey-Ferriday

$18.47

Author: Martha Hall Kelly

Georgeanne "Georgey" Woolsey isn't meant for the world of lavish New York parties and demure attitudes of women of her stature. So when the drums of war begin to beat, Georgey follows her passion for nursing. In proving that women can bear the brutalities of the battlefield, she and her sister Eliza venture to Gettysburg and witness the unparalleled horrors of slavery and war. Jemma is enslaved on Maryland's Peeler Plantation, where she lives with her mother and father. Her sister, Patience, is enslaved on the plantation next door and both live in fear of LeBaron, an abusive overseer. When Jemma is sold by a cruel plantation mistress at the same time the Union army comes through, she sees a chance to finally escape-but only by abandoning the family she loves. Anne-May is left behind to run Peeler Planation when her husband joins the Union Army and her cherished brother enlists with the Confederates. In charge of the household, she follows her own ambitions and is drawn into a secret Southern network of spies, finally exposing herself to the fate she deserves.
