About this book

Schoolwork becomes difficult for Daisy Randolph when thoughts of Christian Thorold, an officer in the Northern army, crowd out her lessons. In Susan Warner's Daisy in the Field, the young narrator tries to understand the joy of their affection and her fear for his safety. Miss Cardigan offers practical comfort, while Daisy anticipates another difficulty: her mother's response to the man she loves.

Set against the American Civil War, this novel for young readers brings public conflict into family conversation. Daisy's mother and Ransom celebrate news of a victory for the South, while Daisy listens with anxiety and keeps her own feelings guarded. Christian belief, duty, love and the pressure of family expectations shape her reflections.
