Amelia Grafton, a girl who lived through the American Civil War of 1861-64. Like all of those other people, Amelia had to fight through to get additional information during the war against the North (Union) and the South (Confederate). Josh Dechart, one of Amelia's good friend who you will see more often among with other characters. Jinny Pearl Beale, a sweetheart for one of Amelia's brothers but not anymore, was also a woman soldier and spy, inspired from the Belle Boyd, another woman spy and a soldier. While reading this book, I can see that the Grafton have each other's backs, feelings about the war, different perspectives from each different character. - Happy Reading!
