Book of the Month December 2011

Annie, Between the States
By L.M. Elliot



This is an exciting, humorous, and bittersweet story taking place during the Civil War in the United States.  Annie finds herself torn as her brothers fight on the Confederate side to protect their home state of Virginia and she finds herself falling in love with a Yankee officer whose life she helped to save.  War is all around, and Annie finds their family bombarded with their share of sorrows.  When she is falsely accused of spying, will Annie find marriage to a Yankee an escape from danger or the result of true love?


After-reading prompt: Write an epilogue for this book to show what happens after the war is over.  Will Annie reunite with what is left of her family?  Will Jamie still hate her? Will she have children?  Write whatever you want to happen!
