I really enjoyed this fictionalized account of Mount Vernon from a time period that I wasn't familiar with, the Civil War. Despite it being in a Southern state, it was given the distinction of a neutral property, and Sarah was one of the handful of residents/employees to keep that firmly enforced.
It's a short book that would be great for 12+
Clean with the exception of a few swears. No gory stuff for war.
