Juliet’s Moon
by Ann Rinaldi
Buy the book from:
Juliet Bradshaw’s Missouri home is destroyed during the Civil War, and the conflict around her is dominated less by formal battle lines than by guerrillas, militia and retaliatory violence. She is imprisoned, displaced and drawn into danger connected with William Quantrill’s raiders.
The novel portrays the border war as a struggle in which civilians cannot rely on uniform, law or neighbourly familiarity for protection. Juliet’s survival depends on reading shifting loyalties while retaining a moral identity in a landscape where both sides claim necessity for acts that devastate families.
