My review:
A feel good Christmas tale
without being overly sappy. Lizzie
T. Leaf takes us back to the American Civil War and puts us in one of the darkest
and most disturbing places and allows Christmas to bring in the light and love.
Nothing earth shatteringly new about this story but I loved it just the same.
