Lucie's Review:
Yankee in Atlanta is a highly historical read, with a full cast of characters. This book shows in a realistic way how the War Between the States both tore people apart and brought them together.
Caitlin is a young woman who is found wounded in battle, wearing the uniform of the opposite side. Now that her secret is out she is determined to make a life for herself in Atlanta as a teacher an governess for Noah Becker's daughter. Though Noah leaves money to care for his daughter, but that is son gone with the supply shortages causing inflation of prices, and the fat that they will no longer accept Confederate money as a mode of payment.
Will Caitlin be able to survive as a Yankee in Atlanta?
This was a book that was slow to start, yet compelling in its realistic perspective of the Civil War through the eyes of a woman. While this is the third in a series there is very little to connect it to the previous books in the series, making it wonderful as a stand alone. And if you didn't recognize the connection, there isn't any loss of understanding of the plotline.
Overall, this was a very well written historical novel about what many people experienced during the war. There were may intertwining storylines the intersected and came apart, making the perfect conclusion even better! And while there wasn't much interaction between the lead characters it was understandable because of the war. Definitely a book well worth the read for fans of Civil War history!
