Sarah! I'm so impressed! Can't wait to see it on the NY Times Best Seller list!
What an amazing accomplishment!
Brings a time from the past alive. I am reminded of the feeling I had reading The Diary of Anne Frank. This work is fabulous. A real reminder of what came before in order to make today what it is.
A great story with original documentation never before printed. Readers love the Civil War. The author has absolute passion and dedication.

Well written and Osgood is around the big wigs of the Sixth Corps.
A wonderful narrative, based upon a large collection of letters, detailed and historically interesting.

Exciting, suspenseful, and extremely well-written. I love this story! It has war, loyalty, death, jealousy, and love, which every good war story needs. Great characters - the important Sedgwicks - friends to the likes of Hawthorne and Alcott. War generals and heroes. "Feminists." The juicy part of this story is whether or not Osgood's love will be there to embrace him when he returns home.

"Tears reading your poem! Being in the thick of it with a 2 & 4 year old and then seeing graduation signs all over town and prom photos on FB it all seems so far away for me but I know it will go fast!"
Your heart is on the page. So real. I could hear your voice as I read. So sweet and true.
