Jane McKeene was born a couple of days before the time when the dead started to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The idea was to just derail the ongoing War Between the States and then eventually change the nation for good.
In the new America, safety for everyone depends on the work of a few only, and the laws just like the Negro and Native Education act require to have certain children to attend combat schools so that they could just learn to put down the dead.
But then, there were also a few great opportunities there and Jane was studying hard to become an Attendant there. She was trained in both etiquette and weaponry for protecting all of the well-to-do. It was a chance to have a better life for all the Negro girls like Jane. After all, being the daughter of a rich white Southern woman couldn’t even save her from all of the expectations of society.
This book will be a great experience for the listeners to witness zombies and civil war along with the girl who battled hard with both the racism and the undead all at the same time.
