I just reviewed Sunflower Sisters by
Martha Hall Kelly
What an amazing story! I am going to have a book hangover for days. Sunflower Sisters is a wonderful ending to the Caroline Ferriday trilogy. Georgeanne “Georgey” Woolsey is Caroline Ferriday’s great aunt. The story is told through her eyes, along with two other narrators. Anne-May Wilson, who has inherited a plantation in Maryland, and Jenna, A slave on the plantation. Much of the story is based on Woolsey letters and research about the Civil War. Martha Hall Kelly allowed me to feel so many emotions while reading. Jenna and Ann-May are fictional characters. The story starts in 1961 and ends at the end of the war. Georgey is one of eight children (7 girls and 1 boy). We follow her efforts as she travels to several field hospitals at the start of the war with her sister, I definitely felt like I was an eyewitness to what it was like.
