Drei Frauen, die inmitten eines gespaltenen Landes um alles kämpfen müssen, was ihnen lieb und teuer ist ...
1861: Georgeanna Woolsey stammt zwar aus gutem Hause, für rauschende New Yorker Ballabende hat die junge Frau aber nichts übrig. Ihr großer Traum ist es, Krankenschwester zu werden und Gutes zu tun. Als der Amerikanische Bürgerkrieg ausbricht, ist sie deshalb eine der Ersten, die sich für die Lazarette an der Front in Gettysburg meldet. Die Sklavin Jemma lebt auf einer Plantage in Maryland, wo sie täglich ums Überleben kämpft. Denn der Alltag auf der Farm ist hart und die Aufseher sind grausam. Unerwartet bekommt sie die Chance zur Flucht - doch dafür müsste sie ihre geliebte Schwester zurücklassen.
Währenddessen versucht die Plantagenbesitzerin Anne-May ihr Hab und Gut vor den einmarschierenden Unionstruppen aus dem Norden zu verteidigen. Sie droht alles zu verlieren und fasst in ihrer Verzweiflung einen riskanten Plan: Sie wird Spitzel im Auftrag des Südens.
»Ein großartiger Roman, der die Frauen feiert, die vor uns kamen, die für das kämpften, was sie für richtig hielten, und die zu Heldinnen wurden, die ihrer Zeit voraus waren.« Lisa Wingate

Und am Ende werden wir frei sein
A beautifully written, intricately researched window into the lives of women in a world we can scarcely imagine today . . . Sunflower Sisters took me on a journey that swept me up in its pages and left me pondering deeper truths in the end. It s a read filled with sisterhood, risk, reward, and plenty of fodder for book clubs. Entertainment Weekly
Kelly s prose flows beautifully across every page, bringing to life the women impacted by the horrific war that tore apart the country and countless families. . . . Much of Sunflower Sisters is heartbreaking . . . but there is also much hope and joy in the courage, fortitude and victories of those courageous and determined to succeed and survive. Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
A well-researched, realistic narrative . . . It s the women and their activism that tell the story of the struggle to end slavery. They become the real heroes of the war. Kelly tells this story without either romanticizing or sweeping over the horrors that split the nation in the nineteenth century and continues to do so today. The Spokesman-Review
From Southern spies to nurses on the northern battlefields, Sunflower Sisters weaves an exquisite tapestry of women determined to defy the molds the world has for them. The journeys of Jemma and the Woolsey sisters will have readers celebrating those who came before us, who fought for what they knew was right, and became timeless women ahead of their times. Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours and The Book of Lost Friends
