Historical Fiction

The book that I read yesterday was different journals and pictures from people who lived during that time. The point of the book was to show how diverse people's lives were back then. It gave point of view from many different aspects. From young boys to old men. I have started thinking about my story. The story is going to take place in the north, though I am not sure specifically where yet, and the main character is going to be a girl around our age. The conflict in the story is going to be that she really misses her dad and her brother. They went off to war. She has to work everyday with the motivation that her family will be reunited again. I would tell you more, but I do not want to spoil the ending.
