THE GHOSTS OF GETTYSBURG is an historical novel based on real people and a true incident during the Battle of Gettysburg. Jennie Wade was the only civilian casualty in the three-day battle that left six thousand soldiers dead and twenty-seven thousand wounded. The book begins when Jennie is a pre-teen and introduces her friends when they all set out on a mission to find the Devil at Devils Den in Gettysburg. Instead they find themselves. Ten years later when Jennie is twenty, the story picks up the focus on Jennie and her family when they are faced with the reality of the Civil War in their small, out-of-the-way town. Her childhood friends have scattered, but they are finally brought back together by the tragic aftermath of the unexpected combat. THE GHOSTS OF GETTYSBURG is an honest account of this period in history that children can relate to and learn from.

This book is a memoir about Agnes and her bestfriend, Mary Lou. The diamonds belong to Agnes' celebrated grandmother, Harriet Bell Anthony. The story is a mix of characters, in place and out of place, in a peaceful town in Indiana in the late 1940's. The problems center on a sensitive, imaginative twelve-year-old girl who is caught in the inevitable struggle to understand and accept feelings, frustrations and loyalties. The conflicts intensify with the visit of a legendary grandmother in her diamond-heeled shoes. "Later, before they fell asleep, they swore everlasting friendship until the day they died and afterward in heaven." Diamonds are definitely secondary.
