""The Story of a Flag" by Kimberly C. Grace - okay, yes, you'll always get me with a story tied with strong family bonds. This little story transported me entirely back into the (Civil) War era. I've never found that time period interesting, but I loved. This. Story. Vivid and heartbreaking, but that made the ending all the more beautiful - though, of course, there were little details that broke your heart further."
