The Nancies - Paperback

by Sue Pearson (Author)

They called themselves the "Nancy Hart Militia", forty-six privileged and proper southern women who weren't looking for trouble, but were trained and ready should trouble come looking for them. The Civil War had taken away their men, and their way of life, but it wasn't going to take their town without a fight. And when that moment came, dressed in all their finery, bearing rifles, and armed with courage, they demonstrated the power of love in the face of fear. Inspired by a true story, The Nancies follows the three Bull sisters - young Addie, tough Delia, and compassionate Sallie - through the tempest of the Civil War. Through unimaginable change and loss, they each find a wider place in the world and in their own hearts. The Nancies is replete with romance, conflict, daring, discovery, and the unexpected call to live beyond one's safe and familiar boundaries.
