In My Father’s House

Author(s): Ann Rinaldi

Location(s): Virginia, Appomattox

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical

Era(s): American Civil War

Many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War were fought in the home. Oscie Mason knows this all too well.

The first shots of the war were fired on her front lawn – a sign of things to come. Oscie’s a proud daughter of the Old South, but her stepfather, Will McLean, thinks the world of her childhood must change. Oscie won’t accept anything he has to say. And the tension between them is about to explode.

To escape the war, Will McLean moves the family to a quiet town called Appomattox. But the war will follow them here, as sure as the hurtful battles will continue in Oscie’s home, and in her heart. Can Oscie call a truce – or will all that she cherishes become a casualty of war?
