In the aftermath of the Civil War, Josephine Weatherly and her mother, Eugenia, struggle to pick up the pieces of their lives when they return to their Virginia plantation. But the bitter realities of life after the war cannot be denied: their home and land are but shells of their previous grandeur; death has claimed her father and brother; and her remaining brother, Daniel, has returned home bitter and broken. The privileged childhood Josephine enjoyed now seems like a long-ago dream. And the God who failed to answer any of her prayers during the war is lost to her as well.
Josephine soon realizes that life is now a matter of daily survival--and recognizes that Lizzie, as one of the few remaining servants, is the one she must rely on to teach her all she needs to know. Josephine's mother, too, vows to rebuild White Oak...but a bitter hatred fuels her.
With skill and emotion, Lynn Austin brings to life the difficult years of the Reconstruction era by interweaving the stories of three women--daughter, mother, and freed slave--in a riveting tale. Books with free ebook downloads available Download All Things New [Kindle Edition]

My Review:
Twenty-two-year-old, Josephine Weatherly is sitting by an upstairs window in her Aunt Olivia's home with her sixteen-year-old sister, Mary. They thought that they had been through the worst of the war but that wasn't the case at all. President Davis and the Confederate government were leaving Richmond, Virginia, people were looting, and fires could be seen in the distant sky. "The enemy invasion everyone had long feared was about to begin." The Yankees were coming and they feared for their lives.
