Summary: War started in his backyard and ended in his back parlor...
Comment: In My Father's House documents the life of Osceola (Oscie) Mason, and what happened to her family after the marriage of her mother to Will McLean with the impending Civil War. At seven, Oscie does not like her new father, and has no problem letting him know it. However, she learns to love her new stepdaddy as the years pass. Oscie witnesses her sister dying, a new brother being born, a first love, and war coming to her beloved Manassas. Will McLean then moves the family to Charlottesville, to keep them away from the battle. The home is only temporary, and soon the family moves to Appomattox, where Will McLean is sure the war won't disturb his family. Along the way, Oscie is considered the head of the family and deals with unruly slaves, disgruntled townspeople, and the occasional beau. The war of course finds the McLeans in Appomattox, and the bloodiest war is ended in their front parlor, along with the book.
Besides the fact that seven year old Oscie talked and had the maturity well beyond her years, there was nothing really wrong with the book. Many books are written about the Civil War, but not about Will McLean, who could actually be indirectly responsible for starting and ending it. The book kept me reading, and, like all of Ann Rinaldi's books, I LEARNED something. Well done.
Rating: 5
Summary: Just the stuff we have come to expect in Rinaldi
Comment: The war began in Will McLean's back yard and ended in his palor. This is the story of his step daughter and her life as a member of the gentry in the south. This novel chronicles her life from before the war until after. A thrilling and worth while read. I guarantee you'll love it.
