ereks mom Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) I'd prefer that the protagonist be a Southerner--an average Southerner, rather than plantation aristocracy. Even better if the story takes place in Georgia. Pretty please? :D Edited July 2, 2012 by ereks mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Answered on the K8 board too. These have everything you want. Turn Homeward, Hannalee. "During the closing days of the Civil War, plucky 12-year-old Hannalee Reed, sent north to work in a Yankee mill, struggles to return to the family she left behind in war-torn Georgia. "A fast-moving novel based upon an actual historical incident with a spunky heroine and fine historical detail."—School Library Journal. There is also a sequel, Be Ever Hopeful, Hannalee "Hannalee's brother Davey has returned from war without an arm, intent upon moving the family to Atlanta to begin a new life. Hannalee's strength of character and optimism continue to serve her family well, particularly when she finds a job in a dry goods store in order to help support them. When Davey is jailed for murder, Hannalee is able to prove, with the help of a frightened former slave, that her brother is innocent. This fast-paced historical novel chronicles the post Civil War period from the point of view of the Southern white working class who never owned slaves. There is an afterward which describes the historical background upon which this story is based." —School Library Journal. My dds thoroughly enjoyed these.
