Praise for The Abolitionist’s Daughter
“Inspired by a real-life feud between two Mississippi families, McPhail’s first novel sheds light on an often unrecognized part of Civil War history, the Southern abolitionist movement…For fans of Charles Frazier’s enduring Cold Mountain.” —Booklist
“McPhail is great at showing differences, but also frightening similarities, in the attitudes about slaves between Union versus Confederate soldiers. A well-researched story into the lives of Southern Abolitionists.” —The Historical Novels Review
“The dialogue, scenery, and daily routines of the characters in McPhail’s novel as well as the state of mind of the country during one of the most turbulent times in history is quickly brought to life. This is an absorbing story sure to capture the hearts of historical fiction fans who appreciate a uniquely told tale of those willing to defy the status quo with bravery and steadfastness.” —The New York Journal of Books
“McPhail’s…debut centers on a land dispute in the antebellum South…Many intriguing threads.” —Publishers Weekly
“Diane McPhail excavates a nearly forgotten corner of American history and brings it to full, beating life. This is a fascinating and heartfelt look at the kinds of stories that don’t always make it into the history books.” —Louis Bayard, author of Courting Mr. Lincoln
“A contender, a deeply felt, thoroughly researched story…as good as it deserves to be.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author
