Two Girls of Gettysburg is a standalone title by Lisa Klein. Lizzie and Rosanna are cousins. But when the Civil War breaks out, fifteen-year-old Lizzie finds herself committed to the cause of the Union, while Rosanna is with the Confederacy – and in love with a Confederate soldier. Torn in their alliances, yet as devoted as sisters, each girl finds herself grappling with the senseless brutality of war, and the sacrifices that must be made in order to survive. It will take one of the war’s bloodiest battles – fought on the farmlands of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania – to bring them together again.
