But readers need to slow down, realize that some books can be savored for their wisdom, their content, their calm sense of adventure.

What a riveting story of an era that I, too, was born into but on the other side of the fence than Gene Cheek. It makes me so sad to realize that I had the same sentiment as all the "rogue" whites because I was also taught to dislike those that looked different.

This is a fantastic book that describes, in detail, what it must have been like to live as a woman in Charleston during the Revolutionary War. Many others here have provided plot synopses, so I wont be too redundant. Having majored in History in college, I do remember thinking at one point during my reading "Why does she have food? The soldiers would have taken that to supply the army".
