Book Review: Yankee in Atlanta by Jocelyn Green


Caitlin McKae is stranded in enemy territory. Having survived a gunshot wound while fighting for the Union army, she is mistaken for a Confederate and taken to a hospital in Atlanta. If she reveals who she really is, she would end up a prisoner, and would never return to those she loves. But it looks as though she might find a new love in the South.

Ruby O’Flannery is working to better her life for the sake of her young son, and to piece things back together after the events of the previous two years. But her past secrets and struggles threaten to mar her future.

Yankee in Atlanta is the third installment of the authors Heriones Behind the Lines series, historical fiction set during the Civil War. The history behind the story is very accurate, with several real supporting characters. The characters are well-developed and the story is uplifting, as the main characters learn to rely on God during very rough times.

I enjoyed this book as much as I did the previous two books in the series, and loved the fact that it brought in some characters from the first two and tied them into the story. I would recommend at least reading book one, Wedded to War, before beginning this one. I also must add that this series is really geared towards a more mature audience, with content not suitable for younger kids.
If you enjoy historical fiction and romance you will LOVE this book!
