Anni's Attic

With the escalation of the Civil War, eleven-year-old Jennine Parkington is brought by her father to live on a Georgia cotton plantation with her cousin Annise--the cousin she intensely dislikes. While Jennine awaits the return of her father from his covert Northern military duties she finds herself caught up in her Southern family's dangerous espionage and Underground Railroad activities. But as the years pass and the South sinks slowly to its knees, Jennine comes to love and admire her independent and fearless cousin, finding comfort and joy in her company and the mysterious treasures of a long-forgotten secret attic.
