Girl in Blue

It is a historical fiction that takes place during 1861, during the American Civil War.

16-year-old Sarah Louisa Wheelock lives on a farm near a small village in Michigan in the 1860s.

Instead, she runs away to Flint, Michigan to stay with an aunt, and then ships out with the First Union Greys to fight in the Civil War as a man.
