Review As finely and delicately woven as the title suggests.-- "Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author, on The Girl Who Wrote in Silk" A beautiful story that brought me to tears more than once, and was a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the human heart.-- "Susanna Kearsley, New York Times bestselling author, on The Girl Who Wrote in Silk" Product Description Two women, living centuries apart, fighting for our country’s freedom and their own Seattle, Washington Larkin Bennett has always known her place, whether it’s surrounded by her loving family in the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest, or riding on a dusty convoy in Afghanistan. But all that changed the day tragedy struck her unit and took away everything she held dear. Soon after, Larkin discovers an unexpected treasure: the diary of Emily Wilson, a young woman who disguised herself as a man to fight for the Union in the Civil War. As Larkin struggles to heal, she finds herself drawn deep into Emily’s life and the secrets she kept. Indiana, 1861 The only thing more dangerous to Emily Wilson than a rebel soldier is her own comrades in the Union. But in the minds of her fellow soldiers, if it dresses like a man, swears like a man, and shoots like a man, it must be a man. As the war marches on and takes its terrible toll, Emily begins to question everything she has been told about the freedom she is supposed to be fighting for.
