Summary: Loved it!
Review: I fell in love the first time I read it!However this book is not about the Civil War. It deals with the Revolutionary War, my absolute favorite time period. It shows all the excitment I have always love. A young woman forced to hide her actual sex so she isn't found by her greedy uncle falls in love with a man who a spy for the Rebels. The problem is that he is in love with a rich and beatiful Tory, and he has no idea Julie is a woman. The plot thickens when an ex-quaker, Daniel, discovers her secret and falls in love Julie and Julie's uncle has found her and is determined to take her home and force her to marry him so he can have full possion of her fathers business. Sound unbelieveable? Well, Gilbert Morris can write books that will get you to believe anything, including God's control over our lives. As soon as I finished this book I imedintly read it again and have done so many time after. I recomend it to any one who has love for God, history, and the immpossible. Once you start on this series it's impossible not to be hooked and follow this family through the 17 hundreds till, as the last book is now anyway, World War One. I'm kinda rambling on but this book instantly became my all time favorite and has continued to be to this day. It'll make you proud to be an American and one of God's loved creations.

Summary: Wonderful Christian Historical Romance
Review: I own all 21 of this series. I re-read them every now and then. This is one of the many that brings the Winslow's into the Civil War. It made the Civil War real to me when I read this and its sequels. I liked the books so much I purchased an entire set for my church. This book is best read within the series but you can read it by itself. Trust me -- once you've read one you are hooked.
