"Miss Dexie" by Stanford Eveleth is a 19th-century romance that whisks you away to the heart of the American Civil War, where the Sherwood family grapples with a nation divided. Leaving their New England home behind, the Sherwoods seek solace in Halifax, where spirited Dexie Sherwood's cleverness and connections becomes the family's anchor amidst the wartime storm. As they settle in, new friendships blossom with the neighboring Gurney family while the war's shadow falls over differing opinions within their own home; Dexie's artistic soul navigates family drama, societal expectations, and the first hints of love, all set against the vivid backdrop of a country at war.
