Welcome to Litsy!

3rd book in The Lilac Girls series. Inspired by true accounts, Sunflower Sisters provides a vivid look at the Civil War experience of three characters. Georgeanna Woolsey is an ancestor of Caroline Ferriday from Lilac Girls. She is a Union nurse whose calling leads her to cross paths with Jemma, a young enslaved girl who is sold off and conscripted into the army, and Anne-May Wilson, a Southern plantation mistress whose husband enlists.

I‘m about 100 pages in and I‘m enjoying it so far. It‘s not a favorite yet. But so far, Kasia is my fav character. It‘s pretty heavy from the start. I‘ve heard great things, so we‘ll see what I think.

Just got back from this author talk at East Granby CT community center. She was an incredible speaker-animated, vivacious,intelligent,- so interactive with the audience- also well read audience, with a long Q& A period.Listening to how/why she wrote both book, the years of research that went into both, etc., was fascinating. Plan to visit to the Bellamy-Ferriday House in Bethlehem CT (con.)
