About this ebook
Bestselling author Marissa Moss’s A Soldier’s Secret is the story of Sarah Emma Edmonds, who masqueraded as a man named Frank Thompson during the Civil War.
Narrated by Sarah, this true story offers an in-depth look not only at the Civil War but also at her journey to self-discovery as she grapples with living a lie and falling in love with one of her fellow soldiers. Her adventures include serving as a nurse on the battlefield, spying for the Union Army, and being captured by (and escaping from) the Confederates.
Using historical materials to build the foundation of the story, Moss has crafted a captivating young adult novel. The book also includes a Civil War timeline, archival photos, a glossary of names, a detailed note on sources, and a readers guide.
