Publisher's Summary:
For 16-year-old Hattie Rood, Mr. Lincoln's War has brought nothing but death and hardship. She has lost one brother to a Yankee sharpshooter, another is away fighting with the Confederate army, and her aging father is barely able to keep the family tobacco farm going. One hot August night in 1864, Hattie's life takes another dramatic turn when rebel bushwhackers bring a wounded Jesse James to the Rood farmhouse, to recover or die. During the next four weeks, as she nurses 17-year-old Jesse back to health, Hattie learns about herself, the lawlessness of war, and most importantly the character of the wounded boy she comes to love. Based on actual events, Up From Thunder explores the uniquely savage Civil War in Missouri a conflict that pitted guerillas led by men like "Bloody Bill" Anderson and William Quantrill against Jayhawkers and often unscrupulous Federal forces. It also examines the ways in which these desperate events and personalities shaped the lives of young Missourians like Hattie Rood, caught in the crossfire.

Up From Thunder is a wonderful read. Not only is the imagery and historical backdrop interesting, but it has an excellent storyline. Although set in the 1860s, I felt like I could identify to the young Hattie. This novel has sparked my interest for further investigation into what life in Missouri was like during this period in time. I would highly suggest this novel to anyone looking for a fun, easy, and highly enjoyable read. I look forward to further novels from the author.
Fabulous book
I enjoyed this book more than any I have read in a while. The imagery is amazing. It is one of those rare books that makes you feel you are right there. You are literally transported to Missouri's distant and dusty civil war days. The heroine is an immensely empathic character, with whom you bond immediately. I'm in the process of trying to find other books by this author.
