I'm sad the series has now ended. The author again doesn't disappoint.
In the final book of the series, we follow the Civil War through the eyes of Zander Dabney. The author again gives us such detail that we feel as if we are on the battlefield with Zander. Tender hearted Zander who must grow up quick and think fast.
From war to love he meets with so many emotions he has never experienced before. He wavers in his trust in God but in the end, it's God that gets him through.
I could write so much more, but I don't want to give up any details that could spoil how different situations. There are a few twist and turns.

I loved it! Excellent historical fiction, I am impressed with the scope of the author's research and her beautiful storytelling. This riveting story is inspired by true events.

Zander Dabney, a tender soul, who up to this point has only been participating in army drills, soon comes face to face with the evils of war in a horrific battle. " A sob caught in his throat and tears stung the backs of his eyes. There was no name for what he felt just now. He was numb. Just numb. Words that should have been directed to his Maker crumbled to dust and scattered to the wind." His Sergeant said "I have a son a few years younger than you. I'd give my life to protect him from what you went through yesterday."

Such a difficult time in history. This beautiful story captures that devastating time, with honesty, and hope. From the horror and difficulties of war, how to cope with faith in the face of evil and betrayal, a sweet romance with the shopkeepers daughter Lola, funny little brothers, the love of family, and Rampart his trusty horse. I couldn't put it down.

Thank you to the author for allowing me to read an early copy. All opinions are my own. I highly recommend this series for historical fiction lovers. So happy to hear there will be another series where the stories of this family continue!
