![]() ![]() ![]() Since I am very familiar with Georgeanna's life already, I don't know if that made me enjoy this more, or if I'd have been more captivated had it all been new to me. I saw in Kelly's novel many historical figures who populated my novel too, such as Frederick Olmsted, Robert Ware, Robert Knapp, Katherine Wormley, Elizabeth Blackwell, and more. I recently listened to Sunflower Sisters, and thought I'd share my thoughts as to how our two novels compare and contrast. Georgeanna was a remarkable woman and deserves more attention. When I heard that Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls and Lost Roses, was releasing a Civil War novel based on Georgeanna Woolsey, I was delighted! Georgeanna is the same historical figure who served as the inspiration for my protagonist, Charlotte Waverly, in my Civil War novel, Wedded to War (RiverNorth Fiction, 2012). ![]()
