About this book
A Daughter of the Union by Lucy Foster Madison invites listeners into a stirring tale of courage, loyalty, and youthful resolve on the American Civil War home front. Centered on Jeanne Vance and her circle of resourceful young women, this historical fiction follows their efforts to aid the Union cause—sewing bandages, serving as nurses, and stepping into dangerous roles that challenge expectations of girls and women in 1860s America.
Madison blends adventure, moral conviction, and coming-of-age drama against the backdrop of major wartime events, including espionage, military sieges, and the complex social landscape of North and South. The novel explores themes of patriotism, sacrifice, deception, and the quiet heroism of civilians whose choices shape history, all rendered in the gentle, earnest voice of a classic early-20th-century storyteller.
Perfect for fans of classic historical fiction and Civil War narratives, this audiobook will appeal to listeners who appreciate character-driven stories about resilience and conscience. Tune in for vivid period detail, engaging plots, and a heroine whose determination makes A Daughter of the Union both a reflective and rousing wartime portrait.
