Narrator Marni Penning performs this story of unlikely friendship and divided loyalty during the chaos of the American Civil War. Southerner Libby Steadman does all she can to keep the family gristmill going while her husband is away fighting. When she discovers a horribly injured Union soldier, she has to weigh the dangers and benefits of keeping him alive behind enemy lines. Penning captures Libby's strength and grit, along with other unique characters. Her thoughtful and well-paced performance guides listeners through intense battles and loving domestic moments with equal care. The audiobook also includes a bonus interview with author Chris Bohjalian. V.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
