From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8?This book could greatly mislead readers, as the cover implies that it is the diary of a 14-year-old girl in Virginia during the Civil War, and nothing within the book would lead them to think otherwise. Upon first reading it, one is likely to attribute the many lapses in character and plot development to the fact that this was a teenager's diary. Even the epilogue telling of the young woman's life after the war adds to this illusion. So it is likely to come as a great surprise to read in the "About the Author" section at the end that this is fiction. The book is disappointing. One never gets a true feeling for Emma Simpson, and it is often difficult to follow the thread of the story. The factual information on daily life is good, but is not well incorporated into the plot. This offering does not measure up to other fictional works about this era.?Elizabeth M. Reardon, McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN
