Look For Me is a spellbinding piece of historical fiction that offers a very different perspective of the Civil War. While the story focuses on two families, one from each side, the heart of book (at least for me), is what I learned about the women who went to war. These women were traveling nurses who practiced naturopathic healing long before the concept was put into words. They followed the battles, often to their own detriment. Then there were the women who disguised themselves as men so they could fight for what they believed in alongside the men. This is a book that I will, at some point, read again as I'm sure I will pick up things I missed the first time. Janet Shawgo's debut speaks volumes of her talent for writing a story and I look forward to reading many more books by her. ( )
