Reviews:
"Angela Moody's novel took me on an emotional adventure through a most difficult time in our nation's history. I both laughed and cried as I was transported back to the Gettysburg of 1863 through historical fact, language, dress and manner of the day. Looking through the eyes of Tillie Pierce and the townspeople of Gettysburg, I came away with a perspective on this monumental battle that I had never considered.
As God often does, he takes Tillie on a journey that stirs within her a crisis of faith as she grapples with evil through the stench of war and its aftermath. Her musings were real, honest and reflective. I think many of us can relate to her as we struggle with our own difficult circumstances. I know I can.
Years later, Tillie reminisces about this time in her life with her own family and states, "she emerged stronger, wiser and full of faith and hope." Isn't that what God intends for all of us as he takes us through this earthly journey toward "home"?
Well done, Angela! I will read this again and again and send it along to all of my friends."

"I loved this book! It smoothly transports the reader to a "you are there, breathing the same air" perch that is inspiring and fresh. The story telling and word choices weave a rich tapestry that goes far beyond the typical accounts of this pivotal battle of the civil war. The author's extensive historical research is exceeded only by her personal understanding of people, how they relate to one another and to Christ. This gives unusual depth to this exciting, page turning, historical novel."
