What a great historical piece!  This story reflects how war can separate one from their loved ones.  It was fascinating to follow Roger and Claire's day to day activities while living so far away from each other.  Life did indeed carry on for both of them in so many different ways while always knowing that someday they would be back together.  Great insight from an actively involved participant during this horrific time period.  Kudos to the author for such a well written book.

I really enjoyed this book!  As a history lover, I found the glimpses of the past to be both accurate and fun!  I also enjoyed the fact that, given the various twists and turns in the story, the ending managed to be somewhat of a surprise.  Much like the trailer in the story, each new layer presented a new dimension.  I thoroughly recommend this book!

I loved this book! I love historical fiction, and I loved how the Author Joy Newbold based this book from real life journals from one of her ancestors! I felt like I was learning about the history of the the early Utah Mormons as well as enjoying a beautiful love story. The characters are all very well developed and the story line kept me wanting more! For anyone who who loves historical fiction this book is a great read!

Great insight into history. Good read as a novel. Author inserts many human interactions that make history come alive. I liked the development of historical characters like Westinghouse and Edison and Tesla.

Well donea very good read! I love historical novels and this book did not disappoint. At first, I had a little difficulty with the names and even had to google some of the locations but it didn't take long before I was hooked. I was sorry to see the book end.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the second in a series, but could be read as a standalone book. The author takes great care to ensure historical accuracy (which I really appreciate) while still allowing for a new and interesting story. This book kept me guessing and I read most of it in a single sitting because I couldn't put it down! I feel like I know a bit more about the history of WW2 because of this book, and I was very entertained for a couple of hours. I would highly recommend this book to any of my friends, and to anyone with a love of suspenseful historical fiction with a dash of romance.

This was a wonderful riveting page turner illuminating a historical figure that has long fascinated me. I sensed the nearness of God as I read and enjoyed how the author wove scripture throughout. Well done Mattie Hon!

Nice historical read.  I love history of the United States and this one was very informative. It is written in a easy style, flows well and was well researched, making it a great read, especially for history classes.

Wonderful read! This book shows the war from the Confederate point of view, mostly seen through the eyes of General Bedford Forrest, the incredible southern Cavalry Commander. I learned a lot about the importance and use of cavalry in the Civil War, as well as the pivotal actions and decision making of Bedford Forrest. As a Civil War enthusiast as well as a history buff, I definitely recommend this. This book also quickly touches on the creation of the Ku Klux Klan and the role that General Bedford played. A wonderful insight into a section of that man's life that many believe was done for malicious reasons, this provides a refreshing more historically accurate look. Definitely looking forward to the next book by Mr. Suydam!
