This was a fun series. While I enjoyed the story lines, the romances, and getting involved with the characters (I cried more than once!), the best part of this series was learning so much about the Civil War. Great books for anyone interested in US history. (Side note: even though they're by an LDS author and there are some of the characters are LDS or investigating the LDS religion, I wouldn't consider these to be LDS books. Anyone could read, understand, and enjoy them thoroughly.)
Book #3 of this Civil War series, I'm really enjoying it (the series that is). Like in the first two there are still things that bother me a bit - it's cheesy and corny in places, all the characters seem to have the exact same personality, and there were some happenings in this one that I found HIGHLY unlikely. But even though that little voice in my head kept saying "THIS IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY!", whatever, I like a happy ending as much as the next person, I enjoyed it. Reading these books is makin...more
Volume Three of the series. Begins at 1 July 1863 to 27 December 1864. The South can't hold up much longer. Jeffery and Sarah Birmingham have left Charleston knowing their home will soon be burned and are head to Utah with a wagon train. Limbs and lives have been lost but some are returning home to begin lives forever changed by the war.
3rd book in a 4 book series about the Civil War. I have enjoyed the characters and especially learning more about the Civil War. I appreciate the notes at the end of the book where the author tells us where she has taken liberties and gives us a little more info about important historical events covered in the books.
I loved this book more than the previous 2. I finally feel connected to the characters and the story and can't put it down. I could not believe the cliff hanger at the end of the book and I had to start the next one right away just to find out what happened. I'm excited to see how the series will finish!
This series of 4 books is about the period of the Civil War It tells about the lives of different families in both the North and the South, how they lived before the war, and how things changed during the war. It is so sad how many, many people died in this war. It affected nearly every family.
Third in the series. I liked the progress with some of the characters. Makes you sad to think that our country had to go through such turmoil to survive. Had a few civil war stories I wasn't familiar with.
i know i am a sucker for a good civil war story, so although this series is pretty average, i will still read all 4 vol.
I love this series. The author really makes you feel like you are right there witnessing it yourself. She does such a good job with all the details. The prison camps sounded horrid. I don't know how men survived them. The description of the battles-how many were killed during some of them was in the thousands. Both the North and the South lost many soldiers. Then to read how they dealt with losing limbs. I could hardly put the book down because I just was so into all the characters and events as...more
Sometimes the author rushed through some parts that I wanted details on and occasionally stretched stome parts I wanted to skim. Love the characters and the civil war history.
Excellent book as the drama continues to unfold. SPOILER: This book has the death of my favorite major character as is extremely sad, but you begin to see the real cost of how this war affected families and the nation as a whole.
Only complaint about this book is the cliffhanger ending, I think its kind of a cheap resolution to add drama to Daniel and Camille's storyline. I think it would be okay to say: "okay we're done" with Daniel and Marie's drama, it doesn't feel necessary to make him a volu...more

A little tedious at times, but I still enjoyed it.
3rd volume in this series. Highly recommend.

civil war times.....good read.
The civil War family saga continues......
It was great, the story still has some heart-wrenching turns and conflicts. I enjoyed it so much I finished it in just a few days (which is fast for me).
This book is more depressing than the others - as we are now learning about such a difficult and drawn-out part of the war. I continue to enjoy the characters and all I am learning about the Civil War. Starting book four tonight ...
This series really gets better as it goes. I couldn't put this down.

Fabulous. I absolutely LOVE this series. I had to run to the library as soon as I finished "Through the Perilous Fight" to grab the next book "One Nation Under God". Thank heavens no one had it on hold - pretty remarkable, actually. Read this series. So good!!
I really enjoyed this series. I have always liked reading "historical fiction" because it helps history come to life for me. I learned several things about the war that I didn't know. The story lines were good and kept me interested.
I listened to this series on Audio CD and they are so fantastic. They keep you listening for more.. waiting for the next thing to happen. Definatly a great LDS historical read!
Events from the Civil War that have been mere words to me are becoming real and memorable- more then just words in ink.
loved it - I am really loving Anne and Ivar and Mary and Ben!!!!
The story is really rolling now. Some unexpected events happen, but of course, good things happen as well.
You could really feel the characters, they became parts of my dreams they just felt so real!
Good, but not quite as good as the first.
I like these books so much I bought them.
Amazing series! 14 and up.
See my review on book 2.
