"A Time To Dance: Virginia's Civil War Diary, Book Three" is the third and final installment in Mary Pope Osborne's trilogy. If you're look for fresh excitement and adventures, then you may be disappointed with this story. If you're looking for a continuation of Virginia and her family's life, then you may enjoy it. What kept my attention was Virginia's blossoming love for the theatre and writing - two of my passions. There is a lack of history in this final book. The story ends with the possibility of a fourth installment, since two new members will be joining the family. I recommend.

Virgina "Ginny" Dickens continues to chronicle her diary after the Civil War. Her family now has moved from Washington DC to New York City and her father continues to try to find a job as a violinist as her brother works in the newspaper buisness. Ginny countines her daily lessons and helps to take care of her nephew while her brother's wife recovers. Ginny countines to discover new things about herself as she finds herself intersted in the mysterious world of theatre and finds a job backstage. Through all her experiences Ginny finally finds happpiness. The conclusion to Ginny's diary will be another great read for My America fans.

Eleven-year-old Virginia Dickens and her family have left Washington, D.C. shortly after the end of the Civil War to move to New York City. While her father tries to find work as a violinist and her brother writes for a newspaper, Virginia spends her days on lessons and helping care for her baby nephew as her brother's wife recovers from the baby's birth. When her brother takes her to a play, Virginia becomes interested in the world of the theater, and soon finds a job working behind the scenes. This book was a wonderful conclusion to Virginia's diary and I recommend it to all readers who enjoyed the other My America books.
