This book is a fun 2-in-1, both historical fiction but set in different time periods. I enjoyed both!
Authors Patty Smith Hall and Angel Moore did their research. I felt the historical details were on point, making the book more delightful. Add well developed characters, including some adorable children that I fell in love with, and I’d love to get to visit with all of them.
Life wasn’t easy in either time period but both authors wrote true to life stories with all the challenges that could be thrown at both Mack and Thea as well as Lily and Edward, and we watched them grow and overcome.
Two wonderful stories. If you like historical fiction I highly recommend them.
