A Soldier's Secret is a kindle book buried in the pages of my kindle. I thought it would be a quick read but alas 408 pages is not a quick read for me. To be honest, I am always skeptical of stories of females impersonating males, especially in a war setting. The funny thing is that I pretty well went into this read blind. The cover pretty much told me it would be a Civil War story.

Sarah begins her life in a rural setting in eastern Canada. She embarks on a journey that turns her into not just a soldier but a spy as well. The story started out strong with her family and what lend her to leave them behind. It is an interest journey, the places she went to and the people she met.

There were some great author note's, especially as the author explained what was fact and I must say she did stay true to history. I would have loved more time spend on the spying part verses being in Sarah's head for her internal dialogue, which was rather repetitive at times.

All in all an interesting story about an unknown heroine in US history.
