The Civil War Diary of Emma Simpson Part 1: Gone With the Wind...for Kids?

from The Ribbon Book Club · host Cate Reed and Jen Vos

Dear Diary,  We've reached book 3 in the series! And it's... certainly something! Author Barry Denenberg tackles a big topic with When Will This Cruel War Be Over?: The Civil War Diary of Emma Simpson.  We have a lot of thoughts about this book, namely, why did they choose to focus on a slave-owning white girl from the South? Tune in to hear our hot takes, bad southern accents, and odes to Ken Burns' docu-series, The Civil War.  Yours Truly,  Cate and Jen    RibbonBookClubPod.com @RibbonBookPod on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter   Edited by Danny Heck   Theme music by Ericka Page @theerickapage  Cover art by Chelsea Tanis @TheTrumpetClub Research help by Callie Cherry  @_likethefruit
