Review: Ginny Dye has done it again! This book is so new that I don't want to do any spoilers in this review. But I will say that I believe a person would benefit the most from this amazing series if they would read the first book, Storm Clouds Rolling In, and then proceed from there. That way, you become acquainted with all of the characters in the series and what they have all been through. In this one, book #8 in the series, it is just after the Civil War has ended and even though slavery was abolished, the South will not accept that their way of life is gone forever. Some of them are still trying to hold on to the old way of life no matter what the cost - which makes living in the south dangerous for all blacks or anyone who stands with the blacks.

We, once again, follow Carrie Cromwell Borden, on her journey through life and the amazing things this woman accomplishes. If you are a person who enjoys reading about the Civil War Era, I think you will love this book. At times, throughout the reading of this series, the politics were a bit daunting for me, but the politics are necessary for one to know what is happening in the country at the time. It is my opinion that Ginny Dye is a genius at being a writer. It is so very obvious that she's had to put hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into research in order to write this magnificent series, The Bregdan Chronicles. It is the very best account of life in the south before, during, and after the Civil War that I have ever read. I will read every book she ever writes!

Review: I have never been so emotionally involved with books as I am with the Bregdan Chronicles. I have learned so much about how the war started, and the fact that after the war the abolitionists, black people, and Southerners were still at war. Many lives were lost years after the war. A different kind of war. I also felt like I was a character in the book, because I was so deeply involved with each character. Putting the book down just to get dinner was hard. Sleep was next to impossible!

Review: These books are the most fantastic, well-told, well-written stories I have ever read. I compliment Ginny Dye wholeheartedly.

Review: This is an excellent book series. I cannot write enough about how I have been inspired by its words, stories, characters, tragedies, celebrations, etc. We each have the power to initiate change by our actions. We CAN make a difference and we CAN change the world around us. In the words of Moses in Shifted By The Winds, "..we need to be bold, but we also need to be careful. Nothing is going to change overnight. We need to accept that." We are struggling as a nation. Each one of us CAN make a difference where we live and we CAN change the world around us. Let us READ and LEARN so that we find solutions for a better tomorrow! Never stop moving forward!!
