Summary: Susannah...
Comment: This wasn't the best Sunfire I've read. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful book. It's an accurate picture of the life of a young girl during the Civil War. It was more emotional then exciting, which is alright. It kind of leaves you in a gloomy state. Usually in those books, the end is cheerful, and all the problems have been fixed, etc. But in the end, the war is still going on leaving me with a curiosity of how there life worked out for them. But all things considered, Susannah is a strong girl, who is aware of her strengths and weaknesses. How she took control of things was quite admirable. It really was an emotional roller coaster, at times I got so mad at her beau's sister I wanted to throw the book. Then the next minute I was near tears, then the next happy that she was in love. I think it was a good book, but I wouldn't suggest it to just anyone. You really has to be a romantic to enjoy this book. But if you are, then it's a great book.

Summary: My favorite Sunfire!
Comment: I first read this book about 14 years ago, when I was in junior high. I don't know what inspired me to search for it on Amazon, but here I am. This was the first Sunfire book I read, and my favorite. Susannah, with her strength and courage, was a great heroine and role model for young women, and the book gives a fairly balanced portrayal of both sides of the Civil War (considering it is written from the point of view of a Southern girl). I still haven't found a real guy as great as Caine Harding, but that's why they call it fiction. My sister and I read all of the Sunfire books when we were teenagers. In addition to being very entertaining, they introduced us to many historical events and periods. From "Rachel", I learned of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911. Over 10 years before Leo and Kate set sail on the Titanic, I was introduced to the story in "Nicole". It's a shame this series is out-of-print, because I believe it was a wonderful way to get young women interested in history. It may sound silly, but it worked for my sister and I. These books personalized history and made it come alive: I would often want to learn more about a certain period after reading a Sunfire, and thus gained a great love for history.

Summary: Whatever happened to this series?
Comment: The Sunfire books were some of my best loved books when I was a young adult reader, and Susannah was my favorite. An exciting, touching, vivid portrayal of the Civil War south seen through the eyes of a young woman. It's a shame these books are out of print; I hate to think that young readers are being deprived of them.
