Life in Michigan's back woods had changed little in Rissy's eleven years. Grampa Legard still plows and milks in summer and traps and hunts in winter. Allen Pease still helps Grampa and courts Rissy's sister, Ella. Ella still gardens, cans, quilts and teaches Rissy and Johnny Graycoat from her old school books. But on December 10, 1862, Allen leaves to serve in the Union Army, and the peaceful life of the Legard homestead changes forever. Join Rissy and her extended family as they learn to hope, laugh and love in a land torn by war. And over the course of the Rissy series, watch Rissy take on the world with courage, love and sense of family. As a bonus to those who love American history, learn new details of the Civil War from excerpts from the real letters of Allen Pease, a member of Custer's famous Michigan Brigade.
