Kitt is the almost eleven years old daughter of Jack
Burns – a Canadian widower who is enlisting in the Union army to fight in the
American Civil War. Kitt doesn’t really understand why her father is going to
fight, but she trusts that God will bring her father home again after the war.
Jack frequently receives mail from his sweet child,
Kitt. She sends him letters and beautiful poems, and adds some little things
from home in the envelopes, like seagull feathers, or dried flowers. The
letters are being read by all the men and boost the morale of the whole
regiment. Soon Kitt is dubbed their mascot and known as ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ –
as Jack often calls her.
Kitt understands that not everyone can survive the
war, but she pleads with God to save her pappy and the men in his regiment.
This young girl has a lot of faith that runs deep. Will her pappy return home
to her after the war?
I really enjoyed this beautiful tale, and the poems
throughout the story were a lovely treat. The characters were easy to love and difficult
to say good-bye to.
Nicely done, Micaela and Murray! Dad must be so proud
of his talented daughter!
