Not the greatest follow up to this historical fiction book series, but the book is still a worthy read. Don't just expect the story to flow as nicely from the first two books.

Really good series. I am enjoying it. Historical fiction. It is good to hear the names from the war. Like General Washington and learning more of American history.

One of my favorite things about it is that it shows the American Revolution from both sides. Danial’s family is on the American side and Leah’s family is with the British, but in spite of being on opposing sides, the two families still love each other and are willing to do anything to help each other out. In the 3rd book, General Washington is in possession of New York. The problem is, it’s nearly impossible to defend and the King Gorge has sent the biggest invasion force in the history of England. So the rebels end up retreating. Twins Micah and Dake are two of Daniels' sons and they are both in Washington's army. They are there when the British attack and see first hand the terrible things that come with war. Leah’s husband is in the British army but thankfully he is stationed away from the battlefield so he doesn't have to fight against his nephews.
This book is amazing because it shows just how hard it was for us to gain our independence. It’s constantly saying how bad our army really was and if I didn’t already know who wins, It would never have crossed my mind that a bunch of ragtag farmers and tradesmen could defeat the greatest army in the world at that time. It was truly incredible what our ancestors did.

This story, set during the American Revolution, has amazing contrasts between good, honorable characters and very misled, evil ones. The change in the heart of one young lady during the story is inspiring, and I hope she is included in future books in the series. It was a little disappointing that one character was given an opportunity to change and refused to do so, but I guess that's real life also. The author's research seems very thorough, and I enjoy learning about the birth of our nation is such a delightful way.

Daniel Bradford, and now Daniels son's true identity is revealed as Sir Leo's biological son. Daniel is still in love with Leo's wife. How Daniel's and his sister's children found partners in all the unexpectent places. Some amazing writing with great moral views that makes you want read more about it. loved all the books so far by Gilbert Morris.

This book had quite a few evangelical dialogues. The heroes were very honorable people. Risks were taken for love of country and for each other. Gilbert Morris writing is very descriptive, making you feel you are in that time and place.
