Dear Reader, what is to become of us - of me, Sophie?
Thus begins Sophie's second journal, written two years later. She is now fifteen years old, and the Civil War is three years old.
Her first journal, Sophie's War, tells how she and her family live in constant danger as Unionists in the hill country of Texas, a state that has left the Union and joined the Confederacy.
Now, as the war goes on, all the able men in Comfort have been forced to leave and fight on one side or the other, including Sophie's papa and her true love, Eduard. Sophie and other women must protect themselves from vigilantes and hostile Indians.
Can Sophie and her family survive? Will the war ever end? Will Papa and Eduard return?
