She and her husband, Ennis, have built a modest but happy life for themselves, raising two sons, fifteen-year-old Henry, and eleven-year-old Robert, on their small subsistence farm. <u class="showmore_hide">They do not support the Confederacy's position on slavery, but Joetta considers her family to be neutral, believing this is simply not their fight. Her opinion is not favored by many in their community, including Joetta's own father-in-law, Rudean. A staunch Confederate supporter, he fills his grandsons' heads with stories about the glory of battle and the Southern cause until one night Henry runs off to join the war. At Joetta's frantic insistence, Ennis leaves to find their son and bring him home. But soon weeks pass with no word from father or son and Joetta is battered by the strain of running a farm with so little help. As the country becomes further entangled in the ramifications of war, Joetta finds herself increasingly at odds with those around her-until one act of kindness brings her family to the edge of even greater disaster.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_57eed011');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ></td></tr></table></div><div id="workpagesort_0" class="quickedit

and standing up for what you believe in. Ennis and Joetta McBride had a small farm in North Carolina. She didn't want to lose her sons fighting for the slave owning rights of the rich plantation slave owners. Her father-in-law, a firm supporter of the Confederacy, filled her sons with stories of glory and was sure that the only way to be successful was to own a lot of slaves.<br><br>Despite her and her husband's efforts to keep quite about the glories of war, her father-in-law continued and one day her oldest son, only fifteen left to join up. After he didn't come back, she said she was going after him to find and bring him back. Ennis, upset, decided to do it himself. Her husband did not comeback.<br><br>She has joined the sewing group for making socks for the Confederacy and did not feel welcome because she did not agree to war and wanted to neutral. Later, she was asked for her sake and the sewing group to not continue to attend their meeting.<br><br> A terrible payback for her stance came. Yet she endured and with fierce determination, she worked help her remaining family to survive.<br><br>Instead of learning about the battles of the Civil War, you learn about the devastation that remaining families faced and the shunning of general community.<br><br>I really appreciate the insight the author put inis book so now I am a fan want to read more of her books. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_273819764" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_273819764"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_273819764" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_273819764" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_273819764"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Carolee888" target="_top">Carolee888</a> | Oct 27, 2024 | <a href="/review/273819764"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_262793013" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/30656822" data-workid="30656822" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/149674070X.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/149674070X.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/149674070X.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>What an amazing historical fiction Donna Everhart has written in When The Jessamine Grows! This novel shows what links a very strong Southern woman, Joetta McBride, will go through to take care of her family during the turbulent time of the Civil War! You will be transported and see what the South and especially this North Carolina woman endures just to stay true to herself and to her family. As I read, I became so entrenched in the plight of Joetta who wants a simple farm life but has to change her ways so much throughout this war era. A very heartfelt and heartbreaking story of a very determined woman that kept me reading when I should have been sleeping or tending to household chores.

Despite the challenges and hardships she faces, Joetta remains neutral in a war that threatens to tear the nation apart.<br><br>Donna Everhart, one of the best historical Southern fiction authors you will ever find, gives us a protagonist who stays true to her convictions despite the many challenges she faces.<br><br>Most Civil War books I have read focused on plantation owners with large numbers of slaves. “When the Jessamine Grows” centers around the subsistence farmers, those who grew only enough to feed themselves and their livestock. They were not slave owners. This gave me an entirely new perspective on life during the Civil War.<br><br>I felt that Joetta McBride, the protagonist, was portrayed in a realistic manner. She managed an intricate juggling act to uphold her beliefs while keeping her family safe. A myriad of emotions swept through me as I devoured this book. The characters were so authentic. I could feel the love between Joetta and her husband, the crankiness of Mr. McBride (Joetta’s father-in-law), the obstinance of her older son Henry, and the moodiness of her younger son Robert. This is an excellent examination of family dynamics.<br><br>I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy historical fiction and strong female characters.<br><br>I received an advance copy of the book.

This is just the kind of historical fiction I love. It’s hard to read a book set during a war due to the extreme hardship people suffer, but authors like Everhart make it easier when they give readers fully developed characters who grow with the story.<br><br>Main character Joetta McBride lives on a farm in North Carolina with her husband Ennis and her two sons. Her cantankerous father-in-law lives on the property and eats all his meals with the family.<br><br>I have to admit, at first I wanted Joetta to smack him and make him shut-up! He went on and on about the war and was a die-hard confederate, unlike his son Ennis and Joetta, who were neutral about the war. He glamorized soldiers to the point Jetta’s son wanted to join up and fight. Even though they were both too young, the older son ran off and joined.<br><br>As time went on, Ennis ends up fighting for the confederacy, leaving Joetta and their younger son to take care of the farm. Because North Carolina was a border state, there were many conflicting opinions about the war, but being a traitor to the cause was abhorrent.<br><br>Because Joetta wasn’t taking a side, she becomes labeled as a traitor and suffers many hardships because of it. In spite of that, she stands by her convictions. Her father-in-law also grows as a character throughout their experience, allowing Joetta to see a more positive side to him.<br><br>What I loved about the story was that it focused on the hardships of those at home and it did not gloss over some of the pain they suffered. The ending, while not perfect for Joetta, was one that left her full of hope for the future. <br><br>Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for allowing me to read an advance copy. I loved the story and am happy to give my honest review and recommend this to other readers. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div

She and her husband, Ennis, have built a modest but happy life for themselves, raising two sons, fifteen-year-old Henry, and eleven-year-old Robert, on their small subsistence farm. They do not support the Confederacy's position on slavery, but Joetta considers her family to be neutral, believing this is simply not their fight. Her opinion is not favored by many in their community, including Joetta's own father-in-law, Rudean. A staunch Confederate supporter, he fills his grandsons' heads with stories about the glory of battle and the Southern cause until one night Henry runs off to join the war. At Joetta's frantic insistence, Ennis leaves to find their son and bring him home. But soon weeks pass with no word from father or son and Joetta is battered by the strain of running a farm with so little help. As the country becomes further entangled in the ramifications of war, Joetta finds herself increasingly at odds with those around her-until one act of kindness brings her family to the edge of even greater disaster.</div></div><div id="workpagesort_25" class="quickedit light"><div class="nav"><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'libdesc', 'u_4daea9ea', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Library descriptions</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_4daea9ea" style="display:block;"><p>No library descriptions found.</p></div></div><div id="workpagesort_70" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Common_Knowledge#LibraryThing_members.27_description" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></div><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'ckdesc', 'u_a96dad01', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>LibraryThing members' description</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_a96dad01" style="display:block;"> <div class="workSection"> <table class="fwikiContainerTable ch2"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="fwikiLabel">Book description</td> <td><table class="fwikiGroup"><tr><td class='fwikiField' id='u_a284634d' itemType='1' itemNum='30656822' fieldType='14' name='u_a284634d' allowmultiple='0' hasHistory = '0' fieldName = 'description' uitype = '3' ltlang='eng' hint = 'This is a general description.
