Review Quotes:
"In her third book featuring hardscrabble Appalachian girl Velva Jean Hart, Niven delivers a heart-stopping tale of wartime intrigue, romance, and high adventure. Given Velva Jean's preternaturally wise Southern outlook on human nature, one wonders if Scout Finch Goes to War wouldn't be a more appropriate title."
