Description
An unforgettable story and a wonderful new historical fiction series that moves from beautiful green mountains in the mid-America Valley of Shiloh to a neighborhood in an industrial town. A land of promise seems more like a land of hopelessness and tragedy, but the characters learn that God's eye always remains upon the sparrow.Tags

Set mainly in the USA in the aftermath of World War I. Drama, violence, loss heartache... it's all there. It paints a horrific picture of life in the USA in these times, where racism was rife apparently.
Comfusing at first with a large cast of people, and continual switching of viewpoints. But well-written and gripping

This is an excellent author. The Shiloh Legacy tells of WWI and the troubled times of our nation immediatly after, especially with the KKK being very active. Heartbreaking is what it is. This author does her research and writes very well. I'm looking forward to getting the other books in this series.
This feel good tale deals with the stories of several men returning from World War I. They each face their share of hardships--from prejudice to the aftermath of an amputation--but the good Lord helps each of them through their struggles. A good read for those who like tales with multiple characters and stories where there are struggles but the characters rise above them with help from above.
