Today We Go Home

A Novel

By: Kelli Estes

Narrated by: Amy Landon, Sarah Mollo-Christensen

Two women, living centuries apart, fighting for our country's freedom...and their own.

Seattle, Washington: Larkin Bennett has always known her place, whether it's surrounded by her loving family in the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest, or riding on a dusty convoy in Afghanistan. But all that changed the day tragedy struck her unit and took away everything she held dear. Soon after, Larkin discovers an unexpected treasure: the diary of Emily Wilson, a young woman who disguised herself as a man to fight for the Union in the Civil War. As Larkin struggles to heal, she finds herself drawn deep into Emily's life and the secrets she kept.

Indiana, 1861: The only thing more dangerous to Emily Wilson than a rebel soldier is her own comrades in the Union. But in the minds of her fellow soldiers, if it dresses like a man, swears like a man, and shoots like a man, it must be a man. As the war marches on and takes its terrible toll, Emily begins to question everything she has been told about the freedom she is supposed to be fighting for.

so inspiring.

I loved the historic and real-life portrayal of both the civil war and PTSD. It's an excellent tribute to female soldiers and to anyone surviving the ravages of PTSD. I highly recommend.

Good listen

glad I chose this book . great story regarding the women of this world. we need more recognition for what we do to keep this world together. thumbs up on this book

Captivating

The book was captivating, switching from civil war soldiers to present day soldiers in a poignant heartfelt story. although I know there are still injustices to blacks and women I did feel like it dwelt too much on that. there are injustices at different levels no matter what your gender or skin color. nevertheless I would listen to the book again. the performance was excellent with a very pleasant voice.

Good book!

I really enjoyed this book. Definitely worth listening to. A bit of history on the Civil War, women who fought in the war, and a look into the life of a female soldier suffering from PTSD.

Great story

This story is wonderful and I do recommend reading it. The audible narration was hard to take do to monotones and awkward voice inflections and I was not a fan, however I would recommend reading this one from a book.
