A Voice from the Border (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

Fifteen-year-old Margaret Reeves O'Neill isn't likely to forget the day war came home to Springfield, Missouri. Reeves watches neighbors turn against one another -- some supporting Secessionists, others the Union -- and she witnesses greed and looting, generosity and bravery. The life she took for granted -- her home, family, the very truths she's always held so dear -- is changing right before her eyes. . . .
