“I could hardly put the book down. A wonderful moving story about grit!! I would highly recommend the trilogy to anyone interested in history and love. The story is written so as you feel you are there. Awesome!” – Book Lover, Amazon Review
“… Surpassed my expectations. The sweeping vistas and pastoral scenes from the past made me feel like I was right there in the scene. The writing and dialogue are simply spot on. I am a Civil War reenactor and the stunning details show the mindful attention to detail and historical accuracy. I have studied the time period for more than 25 years and am very impressed. This series has been a true joy to read. – Abby, Amazon Review
