#33

Book #33 was another Sandra Dallas, Alice's Tulips.  It was set in Iowa during the Civil War and was a great tale of character, perseverance, love and hope.  It is written as a series of letters Alice wrote to his sister Lizzie chronicling her life as a soldier's wife.  Life was hard then.  I think life can be hard now, but Americans have know much more hardship than we currently face.  I don't think people work near as hard now and we have so much more. 
fl: December 3, 1862  Dearest Sister Lizzie, Are you surprised to hear that Charlie has gone for a soldier?  ll: I think you will not hear for a time.  From the happiest sister you have ever known, Alice Keeler Bullock
