March by Geraldine Brooks
4.0

I did end up enjoying this one. This book is about Mr. March being off in the Civil War during the book Little Women. We also see flashbacks though of when he was younger and even getting together with a younger Marmee. This book is about hard issues like the horrors of war and even the horrors of slavery so it is no light read.

-For to know a man's library is, in some measure, to know his mind.

-I remember arguing that moral greatness had little meaning without action to effect the moral end.

"No one I know in Illinois would give quality goods like this to Negroes, in wartime, when there are whites in want."
"Well, perhaps you need to widen your acquaintances in Illinois."

-I simply ask you to see that there is only one thing to do when we fall, and that is to get up, and go on with the life that is set in front of us, and try to do the good of which our hands are capable for the people who come in our way.
