About this audiobook
Drawing from her own time as a nurse, Alcott presents a series of powerful stories that capture the human cost of the Civil War from both the front lines and the home front. These tales focus on the quiet heroism of those performing their duty in the face of immense suffering and uncertainty. It is a poignant tribute to the resilience of the human spirit during one of history’s darkest hours.
