The Rebel Wife by Taylor M. Polites

4.0

This book was not really what I expected, but I enjoyed it. It was much more raw and really showed what everyone was going through at this specific time in Alabama. Through the writing I could really feel everyone's high emotions and the struggles of each character. It really made me appreciate the struggles of both women and freedmen in the South after the Civil War. I believe the author did some extensive research for this novel. Though it was sad and a little crazed at time, I liked the ending and felt it was appropriate.
