Although not one of my favorite era’s to read about, Unwilling Warrior by Andrea Boeshaar is set in the Civil War time period of the United States and is very well written. The main Character, Valerie, having lost her mother returns home only to find her father angry at her for leaving the relative safety of the school for young women she is attending. Valerie discovers that her father is involved in activities that make it dangerous for her to be home and is sets in motion her flight to safety.
While home, Valerie meets her father’s house guest, Ben McCabe. Ben is a photographer who is trying to capture the heart of the war and now is committed to searching for his brother who has gone missing since the battle of Bull Run. What neither of them suspects is the long road they must each travel in distance and understanding before they can be together.
There are many facets of this book, and not all of them are the main story line. It reads like real life as you see glimpses of others around the main characters and how they impact their journey. Altogether a great read!
