Meet Maybeth: A Confederate Girl
The war is over. Dixie's "deconstruction" has begun. And way down South, a girl is coming of age. . .


Eunice Mary Elisabeth-"Maybeth"-Stancil, a ten-year-old child of a planter, might've become more girly if it hadn't been for the late conflict. Confined thusly to her family's rural plantation, she'd had to make do without her previous comforts. With no new toys, clothes, or books and very little travel, she long ago began to seek most of her fun out of doors.


Maybeth's days are filled with fishing, swimming, and playing in the woods with her gang, until her best friend's family loses their home to a carpetbagger. To make matters worse, this crooked Yankee has moved in his entire family, including his sickly young daughter.
Will Maybeth be able to help her best friend and deal with those Yankees in a world where all the adults seem to stay at loggerheads?
Meet Maybeth: A Confederate Girl is a historical middle-grade novella written in the style of a popular American franchise. Its intent is neither to mock nor infringe upon that series but to simply offer a different perspective on another kind of girl who makes up the living, breathing tapestry of the Americas.

 

Intended for skilled readers, ages 10 and up.

Contains some certain language, as well as historical themes.
