The Yankee Widow

De: Linda Lael Miller

Narrado por: Jack Garrett

A richly layered saga is set against the backdrop of the Civil War

In The Yankee Widow, gifted storyteller Linda Lael Miller explores the complexities and heartbreak that families experienced as men took up arms to preserve the nation and defend their way of life.

Told in a smart, assured, and compelling voice, this is the story of Caroline, the young wife and childhood sweetheart of Jacob, who together live on a farm raising their daughter, Rachel, just outside of Gettysburg. When Jacob joins the Northern army to do his duty and help save the Union, no one anticipates he will not return. Caroline gets news that he is wounded and has been taken to Washington, DC, with his regiment, and so she must find her way there and navigate the thousands of other wounded soldiers to find him.

Thus begins this novel that focuses on the strong women and men of both sides and both races who sacrificed so much and loved so well during this critical juncture in American history.

Great book! Well read.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romantic fiction and especially historical fiction

Great story

Great romantic story and was great to hear a story about the slave helps me with some people did the right thing.

Reminder of the tragedies of war but also the resilience of the people of our great nation.

I was in awe of the interesting and vivid descriptions and details of what the people went through and the extraordinary stories of the people of that time. I enjoyed the love stories woven into the story as it progressed. This author writes with great knowledge and understanding of the history of our country.

I love Millers books!! This book is great!!! It’s one of my favorites. I love to read books about the Civil War & this is now a favorite. It tells of death, new life & choice. I hope there’s another one to follow.

Superb historical fiction

Great story line, terrific characters and best of all, lots of interesting Civil War history. Totally enjoyed this book.

5 stars!!

Having grown up in West Virginia I can appreciate the story of how the Civil War divided friends and families especially in Virginia. This historical fiction was well written and held my interest from beginning to end. The narration was wonderfully done.... especially cute when the male narrator attempted to speak like a young female child. Seriously though... the narrator did a great job with the southern and northern accents.
I highly recommend this book and will seek out more from this author.
