Books like A hope divided by Alyssa cole
The Civil War turns neighbors into enemies, but for Marlie Lynch, a clever scientist and covert spy, it offers a chance to unite against the Confederacy. In the Carolina woods, she sends coded letters against the Rebel cause, prepares medicine for Union soldiers, and provides secret aid to both escaped slaves and free black citizens. Her quiet laboratory becomes a sanctuary for Ewan McCall, an escaped prisoner with a vendetta against a ruthless Confederate captain. When the Home Guard occupies Marlie’s home, she and Ewan must escape together, trailing the precarious routes of the Underground Railroad to survive.
Marlie’s ingenuity and determination illustrate the complex roles women played on the home front, blending scientific skill with espionage in a period of intense conflict.
