To me, the second of half of the book fell a bit flat. I can't quite put my finger on why exactly. The beauty of the writing in the first half seemed to just disappear. The introduction of the Klan at the end was not really part of the story and was just tacked on almost as an afterthought. I think the author was looking for a reason for Abby to be angry with Ben and this was convenient but not well thought out.
I still think the book is worth reading, especially to fans of Civil War history.
