When War Reaches Clarissa’s Back Door, the Trustworthy Become Even Fewer.
Journey into Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, of 1863 where Clarissa Avery
Ross lives a full life. By day she is the daughter of a respectable
shoemaker being courted by seminary student Kyle Forrester. But by night
she is a conductor on the Underground Railroad, working with a
mysterious man called Liberty. She would like to share her work with
Kyle, but he refuses to enlist when the war breaks out. How can she
remain true to a man being labeled a coward? When the war comes to her
back door in an epic battle, the greatest challenges to her faith and
love are yet to come.
I just finished reading this book and have mixed emotions about it. I was excited to read about the battle at Gettysburg since I had recently visited there. It seemed to me the book could have used less about the characters inner thoughts. They seemed to go on and on sometimes. To be it was more a filler. Once you've stated your opinion go on. I found myself skimming some of these parts. That said I did enjoy the action parts about the Underground Railroad. I must confess I had Liberty's identity figured out before it was revealed in the book. All this being said, it was a good book.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
