Commentary Supposing Books In My Father's House

A house divided.
A nation torn asunder.

Many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War were fought in the home. Oscie Mason knows this all too well.

The first shots of the war were fired on her front lawn - a sign of things to come. Oscie's a proud daughter of the Old South, but her stepfather, Will McLean, thinks the world of her childhood must change. Oscie won't accept anything he has to say. And the tension between them is about to explode.

To escape the war, Will McLean moves the family to a quiet town called Appomattox. But the war will follow them here, as sure as the hurtful battles will continue in Oscie's home, and in her heart. Can Oscie call a truce - or will all that she cherishes become a casualty of war?

Assessment Epithetical Books In My Father's House
Intriguing and educational. An excellent read.

Olivia and Jessica, I'm sorry to say this did not become a new favorite....but I DID like it quite a bit. It was realistic, and it was poignant. Oscie is an admirable heroine (though she has flaws, like us all), and I was shocked to find myself one minute approving of Will McClean's actions, and then detesting them the next. I expected this to be a clear-cut story of a girl with an "evil" stepfather, but it wasn't at all. Like all people, these characters make both good and bad decisions, and

I had at one time put all of the books by this author on a table in front of my house to be given away to anyone passing but nobody took even one. They took all the military and western only. Anyway, I started reading these books for kids and well they are OK. Have read 5 with 9 more to go.

Oscie was only around seven when her father died. And soon a new man came into her life. Her mother fell in love with Will McLean and although Oscie didn't like him very much, she wanted her mother to be happy.But Will McLean wasn't the only change in Oscie's life. For years tensions had been building between the North and the South. Will told her that change is coming whether the South wants it or not, that their way of life will soon be different. Oscie doesn't want to believe it, but growing

Wow! I was not expecting this to be THAT good!This one was one of those books that had been sitting on my shelf for AAAAAAAGES, and I never picked it up until earlier this month.The story begins in 1852 and goes right up till April 12, 1865. Set around the American Civil War and based on the Mclean family. The first shots of the war were fired in their front yard and later ended in their parlour, where Lee surrendered to Grant. My favourite characters in this book were Oscie Mason & Will

This is a favorite childhood book, and one of the early books that first got me into historical fiction, my favorite genre. I read it multiple times in my middle school years, and as such my copy (which I still have) is yellowed and stained and bent and worn out. But really, this is excellent historical fiction that readers of any age can appreciate, and gives a perspective on the Civil War from that of a young Southerner, which is interesting and different from many other books about the

Overall, this was an okay book. It prompted me to look up some stuff about the Civil War that I didn't know about before (like Mosbys Rangers). I find this a very interesting period and I generally enjoy books about it, so I can't say this really disappointed.I thought some of the language used was a bit contemporary. For example, according to this Wikipedia article, the term "feminist" was not used in the U.S. until the early 1900s. It appears in this book in what is supposed to be around the
