Summary

"The Trials of the Soldier's Wife: A Tale of the Second American Revolution" by Alex. St. Clair Abrams is a historical fiction novel set during the American Civil War, focusing on Eva Wentworth and her struggles as a soldier's wife. The story begins in New Orleans in May 1861, with the departure of her husband, Alfred, for war, leaving Eva to care for their two young children alone. As the war progresses, Eva faces increasing hardship and isolation, reflecting the sacrifices and emotional toll on women left behind during the conflict. We learn about Eva's daily life of being a parent in wartime, and we discover more about a time of conflict and the different people and social worries that existed back then.
