My family listened to this short book on the way to Gettysburg in July, but I forgot to review it here! I am sticking it in the Week 42 "War and Pestilence" novels. How appropriate that I would remember it right now.
It is short and to the point, but it helps one get a young man's perspective on war and its costs. It was excellent. It is based on a true story of a 15 year old who enlists in the Civil War.
It is written for a younger age, but I had a high school literature teacher recommend it to me. I was not disappointed.
"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well" (The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupéry). One woman's journey to wellness through a well-adjusted heart, well-watered soul, well-educated mind, and well-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).
