Description
In Washington, D.C., President Lincoln has just been assassinated & the city is reeling with suspicion, fear, & confusion. But for fourteen-year-old Emily, the Union's turmoil is nothing compared to her own dire struggles. Sent to live with her uncle Valentine after her mother's untimely death, Emily discovers that one of her best friend's parents was an accomplice of John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's murderer. Worse yet, on the night of her mother's burial, Emily realizes her uncle is involved in what may be an even uglier business, one that she cannot ignore if she is to be true to herself & her mother's memory. WARNING: This is a historical novel. Read at your own risk. The writer feels it necessary to alert you to the fact that you might actually enjoy it! Grades 7-9. - from Amzon
