I really enjoyed this interesting and fascinating book about Private Caleb Garner. I was fascinated by the descriptions of the Yankee prison camps during the Civil War. I loved the feelings between Caleb and Emily. I felt Nathaniel was a very distinguished and honorable man. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
I give this book a five out of five stars.
