I was thrilled with the book. It gave such a real picture of things at that time. We may not know all of the day to day dealings but we can imagine the book was more fact than fiction. I wish it had been longer. I hated for it to end. The actions of Carrie McGavock were so poignant it hurt the soul to think of what she gave up and went through. She was an honorable lady. I can believe her portrait could be 'alive'. I wondered about Cashwell and the relationship. One sensed there may have been some connection from the past or something left to conjecture by the reader. You could read between the lines of this book to see the big picture. What a frightening picture it must have made in real life.
