Springtime and The Vote

Rate this book
Did the Civil War help or hinder women's struggle for equality in a male-dominated, profoundly changed country? Women were certain they would gain the right to vote after their support of the Union war efforts, but they were betrayed. Lydia Thomas has her heart set on leaving the family farm in Michigan to work with the leading suffragists in Boston. She believes her new husband shares her plans. Some of the people she loves will stand in her way, but she finds steadfast support from others as she faces tragedy, treachery, and a mystery. Sensually written, the story follows colorful characters as they move adventurously through events of the time.

Engaging read that was difficult to put down!

I traveled back in time with interesting characters, laughed, cried, and cheered them on. It was a glorious journey into the lives and times I’ve only read about as being history. This book brought the characters to life, as well as the era, right from the start! A read that will touch your soul with meaning and sustenance.
