A Light in the Storm: The Civil War Diary of Amelia Martin, Fenwick Island, Delaware 1861 by Karen Hesse

A Light in the Storm by Karen Hesse

2.5 stars raised to 3 stars. I'm not sure if this is middle grade or YA. The main character, Amelia Martin is 18 or 19; my library and the library's near me have this and the others in the Dear America series in the juvenile literature section (middle grade), but Goodreads has it as YA on the book'a main page. I usually enjoy books set in the Civil War era, but this book was not quite as engaging, although I am not of the age group that this book is targeted towards I did find the epilogue and author's note interesting..
