Books like The measure of Katie Calloway by Serena Miller
The Civil War has ended, but Katie Calloway's home in Georgia remains in turmoil. To protect her and her young brother from her violent and unstable husband, she flees north, finding anonymity and sanctuary as the cook in a Northwoods lumber camp. The camp owner, Robert Foster, is impressed by the woman he's hired, but Katie is determined to keep her past a secret. The book takes readers back to a bygone era, with the ethereal, snowy forest, and warm cook-stove, while the shanty boys and saws in the forest add to the realism. Readers will find it difficult to leave the Northwoods when they turn the last page.
