She crosses paths with Jemma, a young girl who was enslaved, sold off, ran away, and was conscripted into the army. In Sunflower Sisters, Georgeanna Woolsey, a great aunt of Caroline Ferriday, is a Union nurse at a time when the medical field was dominated by men. I think Sunflower Sisters is my favorite of the three. All the stories in the trilogy can be read as stand alones. First, Lilac Girls is set during WW11 and features heroine Caroline Ferriday next, Lost Roses, a prequel to Lilac Girls, features Caroline’s mother, Eliza Ferriday, and is set in the pre-WW1 era finally, Sunflower Sisters is the prequel to Lost Roses and is set during the Civil War.
Third in the “Flowers Trilogy” (as I affectionately think of them), Sunflower Sisters precedes Lilac Girls and Lost Roses in a historical timeline and altogether the three books involve three wars. Thanks, #NetGalley for my complimentary e ARC of #SunflowerSisters upon my request. *This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
