Julia, certainly, is a likable character. I have not yet read the book but the fact that she appears to be a constant source of support in such turbulent times makes her definitely one of the best characters. I have read a bit about the American Civil War but nothing much about the Dakota Sioux War. I am adding the book to my shelf.
Many thanks for the review.

The brutality of the Dakota Uprising and the Civil War would naturally lead to a story with emotional depth. The book might explore themes of loss, resilience, and the human cost of war in a moving way.
