Finishing this book, I so wanted to select it as a Book of the Month, but decided against it as I posted another Rinaldi book so recently. It is an exciting book, though.
As her mother lays dying, Emily plans to move in with her best friend Annie Surratt. Her plans are ended by the assassination of President Lincoln and the suspicion of the Surratt family’s guilt. Emily’s Uncle Valentine (a local doctor and anatomy teacher) saves her from becoming entangled in the conspiracy, only to expose her to his own illegal activities.
