Maggie of Long Hollow
Maggie of Long Hollow
In the late fall of 1863, thirteen-year-old Maggie Milbourn and her family are in the wrong place at the wrong time: Theyâre anti-slavery, pacifist Quakers living in the western tip of Virginia in the war-torn Confederate States of America. The Confederate Army is out to drag Maggieâs father into service, and the Union Army comes across from the Cumberland Gap at unpredictable times, bringing gunfire and death to Maggieâs world. But for Maggie, the real war rages in her heart over a stern, silent father whose love is cold compared to his religion, and her longing to belong to her town and community, at odds with her raising. Her world becomes more complex still when she befriends a young Union cavalryman, and she must find her own way through the thick of battle to a peace with herself and with all men and women, blue and gray.
