Honor & Glory

Promise & Honor Trilogy #2

by Kim Murphy

In the devastating aftermath of the clash at Fredericksburg, opposing armies lie in wait for the spring campaign on the banks of the Rappahannock River. Two resourceful sisters are swept into the maelstrom--widening an ever-growing rift between family and loyalties. Betrothed to Major Samuel Prescott, Amanda sympathizes with the Union, while Alice struggles to find it within her heart to forgive the Northern forces that nearly destroyed her home. To make ends meet, she resorts to smuggling medical supplies for the Confederacy and falls in love with Amanda's former beau, Colonel William Jackson. Will the sisters follow a treacherous path to bloody justice? Or unsung glory?

I liked this book much better than book one in the series. I found Amanda irritating, still vacillating through this book between the two men, still being in love with Wil when she had chosen Sam. I loved Alice! She was great and a great match for Wil. I was so glad that he was finally able to get over both his first wife and also Amanda and grew to love Alice. I was about to be mad at the end when I thought he was going to die, but loved how Ms. Murphy brought back a character that Wil had helped in the past, who was able to help him at the end of the war. It sure was a long journey home for him, I kept saying to myself, come on, let him get home already! Lol. Very enjoyable read about the ups and downs of the Civil War.

This was the 2nd in a series of Civil War historical fiction books-great series and very good character development. I have enjoyed both books

Different perspective to reading about the civil war - more about the families involved and the personal violence against "the other side" - rather than about the military battles.
