Anne wonders what secret her three older brothers are hiding. When she finds out they joined to fight with the Union Army and would leave the next day, she gives them each one of her favorite two-cent pieces and says, “I want you to take one of my new two-cent pieces. I learned these coins are the first to have the words ‘In God We Trust.’ I just memorized Psalm 91:2. ‘I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.’”

Out of a heart of love, Anne gives six of her special coins away hoping the message on the two-cent pieces will strengthen each person’s faith.

Review By LAWonder10:

WOW! Once again I learned something new! It doesn’t matter if it is Fiction or Non-Fiction, or if it is a YA Adult or Children’s book, I appreciate the author’s knowledge and research in presenting new facts and sharing knowledge. I love learning new things!

My father told me about the Two-cent piece that was minted with the words, “In God We Trust” but I never remembered why. He may not have told me. Now I know! This is great! I learned more about minted coins I never knew about.

This is an informative, interesting short story. It is truly inspiring. After the story is a lot of interesting information on Coin collecting – how to begin, resources available, and a short history of the two-cent coin.

The author also offers some helpful tips on how to use this book as an aid in teaching children.

The Book Cover was eye-catching and the Title was chosen well. The pages and binding are of good quality. The Illustrations were made with soft watercolor. They are done well, but my personal preference is not the cartoonish images.

The only suggestion I have in rating this book is I felt the story needed a little more depth and completeness.

I offer a Four-and-a-Half-Stars rating for this book.

This book was gifted to me wit no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
