Redheaded Angel

This is the story of Columbia Victoria Stuart Boyden who found herself a virtual orphan after her father went to fight in the Civil War and her mother died. She made the long and difficult trip to her uncle's Virginia plantation where she was taken in and treated as a member of the family. Her uncle was the illustrious General Jeb Stuart, and she became part of an exciting world of war, privilege, and adventure. Through her eyes, we see the exuberant world of the Virginian Confederacy in the early years of the Civil War. Author, Dr Joy Fowler, is Chair of the Writing Department at the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she has taught for more than twenty years. Much of her writing is connected to her hobby of historic re-enacting and portrayals of historic characters.
