Review 134: The Wrong Choice by Luke Jackson

Review 134: The Wrong Choice by Luke Jackson

By Shannon Yarbrough on February 6, 2010

I have to admit that I’m not usually a fan of historical fiction that takes place in time of war. Battle scenes and descriptions of armory bore me, but I decided to give Luke Jackson’s book, The Wrong Choice, a read mainly because I’ve been researching the Civil War a lot lately for a project of my own. I thought reading something else from that genre might help or inspire me.

Review 114: I Rode With Cullen Baker by RLB Hartmann

Review 114: I Rode With Cullen Baker by RLB Hartmann

By LK Gardner-Griffie on October 1, 2009

As I Rode with Cullen Baker opens, we are met with a scene evocative of Gone with the Wind with Tara burning in the background. Set in the South in the midst of the civil war, fifteen year old Jessica Linville watched while the Federal cavalry burned her house to the ground.
