"Born to slave-holding aristocracy in Richmond, Virginia, and educated by Northern Quakers, Elizabeth Van Lew was a paradox of her time. When her native state seceded in April 1861, Van Lew's convictions compelled her to defy the new Confederate regime. Pledging her loyalty to the Lincoln White House, her courage would never waver, even as her wartime actions threatened not only her reputation, but also her life"--Publisher marketing.

I enjoy reading about the Civil War era, and this was the first book I read about what happened in Virginia, and Richmond in particular, which became the capital for the South. This was based on a true woman spy and her faithfulness to the Union. She was very clever in all she did and how she did it. If you love the Civil War era, you will truly enjoy this book!
