Tamye~~While I gave this anthology three stars (which means I liked it, I would rate "A Rosa for Russell" at four stars, as I really liked it. And that is saying something since I'm not a big fan of the American Civil War and prison camps.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020This is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was a great short great with a lot of feeling in it. It was told during the civil war when confederates had to help the union as well as their own. A nurse, Rosa, was taking care of a union soldier who had gotten critically hurt. While at the makeshift confederate hospital, Rose took care of Russell. WHen he got better, he kept getting hurt and taking supplies to the other union soldiers. So he kept showing up at the hospital while during this horrible time, Rosa and Russell fell in love. It wasn’t the best of times, since they were from opposite sides. The story gives us a glimpse of the past and how hard the times have been. A very good short read.
