About the story
|
As the title suggests, the story covers the time across the five Aprils of the Civil War. The reader experiences the war through the eyes of Jethro, a 9-year-old at the start of the war in 1861. |
My opinion |
This is a very well told story that covers the range of emotions and relationships that evolve within a family during troubled times. I would tell a friend to read this book. |
