From the Inside Flap:

"What these letters do . . . is authenticate and corroborate a vertically cut and frozen vision into the past, when neither wealth, nor status, nor will could prevail over events."--Journal of Southern History

"These forty-seven letter are still important because of Sally's particular identity and because they add yet another dimension to the role of women during the Civil War. Best of all, A Divided Heart is delightfully entertaining."--North Carolina Historical Review

"The book will help provide a realistic understanding of Southern society during the Civil War years."--Augusta Chronicle
