Pretty much Gone With the Wind.

I first read these books when they were originally separately written. The first time I re-visited them was reading this e-book edition. I read this first and then I'm going through the series starting with book 1.

Not sure how on earth she got away with plagiarizing Gone with the Wind lol. I liked it though.

This was an incredible book! I read it back in the 1990's and just finished listening to the audio book version. This is a historical Christian fiction book set in the time period right before the civil war and continues the saga of the Montclair family. The characters seem so real, and the author made me feel like I was right there in the story. The truths of the ravaging of war made me feel like I got a glimpse of what the people in that time period went through. There was romance, danger, tragedy, and the ending was unpredictable. Very good read!

A sweeping saga that follows two women into the drama and cruelties of the civil war...something you would never expect based on the page count. It truly was a foray into the human condition. It was very good but I feel a little like I've been through a wringer...in a good way but also in a way that makes me hesitant to read any more in the series...It had a good ending but it did feel rather abrupt. I'm still trying to recover from the emotional roller-coaster.

Book Five in the series, set during the Civil War. This book sets the stage for the next four books!! (Garnet lives that long!) You'll fall in love with sweet Rose, you'll adore feisty Garnet, and you'll feel incredibly sorry for both as they experience heartache and loss. This book could have been better (a little too similar to "Gone With The Wind") but still an enjoyable read!
