Sunflower Sisters (Woolsey-Ferriday #3)

In early 1861, Georgeanna Woolsey knows she’s not cut out for the demure life, and finds her passion for nursing just as the Civil War breaks out. She turns down marriage proposals, tries to bend societal boundaries, and is unfazed by the criticism of male doctors who consider women a bother on the battlefront. While venturing from New York to Washington, D.C. to Gettysburg with her sister Eliza, Georgy bears witness to the unparalleled horrors of slavery.

In the South, Jemma is enslaved on the Peeler Plantation, while her beloved sister, Patience, is enslaved on the property next door. Following a tragedy that shakes Jemma to the core, she is sold by the cruel Anne-May just as the Union Army comes through. When she finds a chance for escape, she must decide if she’s willing to abandon her loved ones for freedom.

Disgruntled and unhappy in her marriage, Anne-May is forced to run the Peeler Planation when her husband joins the Union Army and her brother enlists with the Confederates. Now in charge, she follows her own ambitions and desires, and finds herself drawn into a secret Southern network of spies...

Inspired by true accounts and born from extensive research, Sunflower Sisters is a rich and sweeping story of remarkable women, while vividly capturing a wartorn America grappling with nationalism and unspeakable cruelty. It’s a powerful and moving pageturner for readers everywhere.
