Good Ending to a good story
I enjoyed both the book “The Soldier’s Secret” and this book made a good finale to the story. I must disagree with the author about the reason for the Civil War. It was about slavery.

All is well that ends well
What a delightful surprise at this sequel. The Civil
War destroyed so much. However, this novella does a great job in reconciliation.

Such a treat!
Christmas is a time for families but in the aftermath of the war, it was a time of mixed emotions for families who lost loved ones. Such a family is this one but they are in store for some Christmas miracles that are a heartwarming conclusion to The Soldier's Secret.

A lovely, heartwarming epilog to Ms. Osborne's exciting American Civil War novel, A SOLDIER'S SECRET. Both are well worth reading!
