"Beneath the Canopy" by Shirley Chance Yarbro is a great book. It tells the life story of young Josie Hunnicutt. And it takes place before, during, and after the Civil War. It is an inspiring story of Josie's hard-ships, and also her triumphs while going through life with her only best friend, Ginny Lathrop. You see, Josie was a poor girl, and Ginny, rich. So, in order to keep their friendship strong and true, they would always go sneaking off to their secret place, "The Hallow". There, beneath the canopy. So, if you like stories of friendships, romances, and just plan ol' stories about life, then this book is most defenantly for you. And also, keep looking for "Valle Verde: sequel to Beneath the Canopy" to follow these, wonderfull created, "Canopy" characters.

I found this book hard to put down once I started reading it. Shirley Chance Yarbro has written a story about an amazing, inspiring friendship that begins for two little girls; Josie, who was poor, and Ginny, who was rich. They met by chance, but had to keep their friendship a secret by meeting in their secret place, "the hollow". You will fall in love with the characters in this fast moving story. I highly recommend it! There is a sequel to this book, "Valle Verde". Another page turner!!!

"Beneath the Canopy" is a unique story rich in history and loyalty. It has an interesting and surprising plot twist that ties the story together in a most heartwarming way. I heartily recommend it to anyone who likes reading about the old South.
