"This was written by Phyllis Whitney? When? I remember reading her in high school, if it's the same author.

Doesn't sound like this book stands out for a Southern read. I think it's a tricky period to write about well. I recently had an article I wrote on the Civil War published in Learning Through History Magazine. I really enjoyed the research, but it's not a period I think I'd want to tackle fictionwise.

By the way, love your blog. I'm going to have to remember to stop back regularly and check out your reviews. (I'm partial to mysteries, romantic suspense and suspense thrillers. ;-) ) "

"Thank for the compliments about my blog! You can alsways subscribe to the RSS feed. I'm smiling at the requests for reviews on certain genres too. Have any titles in mind? :P

Re Phyllis A. Whitney. Yes, it's the same author. She wrote the book in 1957, so it's one of her earliest ones. She even has a website. She'll turn 104 in September! Given that the book is an early one and she went on to have an 80+ year career as a writer, I'll give her another try. I have two more of her books to read. "
