When I finished the last page of this book I was changed, much like how I felt after watching <i>Dances with Wolves</i> and <i>Gone with the Wind</i>. Both movies opened my eyes to things I never thought of before or knew existed and it changed how I viewed periods of American history. If only our history book in school was this exciting and memorable. Grin! This is a great book club pick as there is so much to talk about in it. This book is to be experienced and then shared with friends. I highly recommend it. <br/>Reviewed by: Nora St.Laurent The Book Club Network</p><p>"Fascinating, dramatic, and romantic, <i>Wedded to War</i> by Jocelyn Green sheds light on the harrowing world of Civil War nursing through the eyes of a delightful heroine.
