About this audiobook
Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, these stories provide a glimpse into the lives of soldiers and the families they left behind. The narratives balance the harsh realities of the battlefield with the quiet dignity of those performing their duty at home. Alcott draws on her own experiences as a nurse to infuse these tales with authenticity and deep emotional resonance.
