This book is an 'easy' read. However, it's content is not what one might expect! I found the book quite fascinating and, at the same time learned a lot, amongst other important issues, about American history during the civil war. The two main characters definitely left a lasting legacy! Who would have thought that, the creation of the Oxford Dictionary would involve such people of different backgrounds and, personal history.
Having had at least two people in my life who can be classified as 'irregular' I found this book by Joyce Landorf extremely helpful. A "must read" for anyone struggling to live normally in the midst of difficult circumstances!
