A Single Spark, (Paperback)

I found this take on the behind the scenes of the Civil War interesting. I have never read anything about the Arsenal facilities and the part women played in making cartridges for the soldiers. It was enlightening to see how they put their lives on the line while their menfolk were off fighting for freedom. Add the twist of southern sympathizers who have infiltrated and budding romance and you have the makings of a great read. I love the slower pacing of Ms. Millers books as it gives you time to absorb what is taking place and get to know the characters on several layers. Although I didn't care for Bea and her tactics of using people I was hopeful for redemption. I always tend to see the good in people like Clara but we cannot change them, as only Christ can. I loved the faith portrayed and Clara's relationship with her mother. This is a good solid Historical read that is informative as well as entertaining. This goes on my Judith Miller shelf with my other treasured books by this author. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
