A young girl's first love: Forbidden. Dangerous. Hanna's Courage: A Story of Love and Betrayal at the Battle of Gettysburg takes the reader on journey of disguise and desperation through the lightning of gunfire in July of 1863.
While her mother tends to the Union wounded soldiers hidden in their attic, Hanna places her toddler brother in the care of former slaves who are fleeing their homes ― just as the Confederate Army invades the sleepy town. But her attraction to the handsome Confederate guarding her home causes Hanna to question her own motives as, days later, she makes a reckless decision that risks many lives. Is she also hoping to find the young Rebel soldier waiting for her as he had promised? What simple truth will she realize from the horrors she witnesses during the bloodiest three-day battle of the Civil War?
Written by Elyse Cregar, a school librarian and a former Licensed Battlefield Guide at the Gettysburg National Military Park, this young adult historical novel is an accurate portrayal of the battle's frightening effects on the citizens of the town and the tangled loyalties that impacted lives forever. Historical details have been verified by a Gettysburg Battlefield historian and the book includes a study guide.
