Annie C says:
A slow and steady burn of tension guiding us through the six months leading up to the Battle of Fort Sumter. Nonfiction storytelling at its finest.
Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers and plantation ledgers, the author offers a gripping account of the months between Lincoln's election and the start of the Civil War, which tore a deeply divided nation in two.

I'm an adult services librarian who loves world-building and learning something new from the books I read. My reading list is usually full of comics, graphic novels, sci-fi, fantasy, science and historical nonfiction and any cookbook with great photos. Outside of the library, I enjoy late night baking, watching soccer and sinking hours into videogames.
