"This was quite good!! <br/><br/>Annie lives in southern US during the civil war. She helps her mother with the wounded soldiers - no matter what side they are on. <br/><br/>I thought the overall story was good. It was long and kind of drawn out. I do wish we could have seen more of the courting between Thomas and Annie though! The ending wasn't my favorite. The author could have written another two chapters and it would be perfect. The "divided heart" wasn't really because of the civil war, like it says on the blurb, but because of how she thinks she should feel but how she really does about Thomas. <br/><br/>The characters were quite fun to get to know, though a little flat. Annie was my favorite, closely followed by Thomas. All the characters really helped the plot drive home. <br/><br/>Overall, I really enjoyed the book. It was cool to read about someone's perspective who was just trying to survive and maybe help people during the US civil war."
