I Thought My Soul Would Rise: The Diary of Patsy, a Freed Girl, Mars Bluff, South Carolina, 1865 (Dear America Series)



Can I just say how much I love the Dear America Diary series? For the die-hard curious (or ultimate snoop) such as myself, there's nothing like being able page through someone's innermost thoughts. That's not all -- story's such as Patsy's offer a life-like glimpse into the past.  Did I mention that next to English/Language Arts, Social Studies is my favorite subject? Oh Dear America, you do both so well!

Joyce Hansen is a wonderful fiction and non-fiction writer. She infuses her works with a since of hope, carrying the theme across centuries and culture.
