Publisher's Summary
Narrated by Grace, an independent and feisty young girl, the novella focuses on the tension created by her confusion over the contradictions in the world around her. As the plot unfolds, a series of shocking revelations leave Grace bewildered by the behavior of those she loves, and in the end, she, and the reader, are left with unresolved questions about forgiveness and redemption, but certain that war brings only great human suffering.

Critic Reviews
"This is a deeply moving story, one not given to easy resolution, just as the issues of that long ago war - slavery, self-determination, the privileges of class - defy a complete resolution even today.” (Barry Kitterman, author of From the San Joaquin)
"With a child’s simple reasoning, Beverly Fisher’s narrator enacts the stalwart sweetness of being called to the treetops, where she seems to sit, dandelion fluff in her hair, measuring the world against a farm’s laws of sacrifice and impermanence while men and women war against each other inside the home and out of it.” (Amy Wright, author of The Garden Will Give You a Fat Lip)
"Not just a period piece, this novella is filled with subtly suggested parallels to our time, or anytime, since war is ever-present in human history.” (Malcom Glass, author of Bone Love)
