A story of coming-of-age in Civil War-torn Louisiana. This is a heart-wrenching story of loss and survival, of the bonds that form amongst women and children left alone to face the hardships, depravations, and dangers of war, and of one unforgettable girl's slow and painful recognition of the good and evil that exists within us all.
