Description
Holly Springs, Mississippi, 1862
Hannah Green can’t believe what happens to her family after the war breaks out. First, her sister Joanna falls in love with a Union soldier — an enemy. Next, the same soldier tells Hannah and her family about General Grant’s General Order #11, which commands all Jews to evacuate the territory for violating trade regulations. The Greens escape from Holly Springs just before their home is destroyed. They lose everything — even their slaves, when Lincoln declares them free.
Now, because she is Jewish, Hannah cannot go home to Mississippi — a Confederate state that’s dear to her heart. Confusion sets in. Who is on her side, and whose side does she want to be on?
In 1862, loyal Confederate Hannah Green’s world unravels when General Grant’s General Order #11 commands all Jews to evacuate. Hannah had been convinced the Confederate side was right . . . but now, she’s not so sure.
