Product Description
"Loyalty, trust and friendship are the themes of Dallas's cozy, suspense-driven epistolary novel, set during the Civil War. . . . Alice is a feisty Northern counterpart to Scarlett O'Hara . . ." - Publishers Weekly Alice Bullock is a young newlywed whose husband, Charlie, has just joined the Union Army, leaving her on his Iowa farm with only his formidable mother for company. Equally talented at sewing and gossip, and not overly fond of hard work, Alice writes lively letters to her sister filled with accounts of local quilting bees, the rigors of farm life, and the customs of small-town America. But no town is too small for intrigue and treachery, and when Alice finds herself accused of murder, she discovers her own hidden strengths - and finds support from unlikely sources.
