Book Review: I Hate to See it End
Summary: 5 Stars
As a twenty-five-year fan of Michael Phillips, I know I can always count on him for an enjoyable read; and the conclusion of the American Dreams trilogy did not disappoint. It arrived this week (finally!), and I couldn't put it down. With the thorough research and mature writing his readers expect, Phillips introduces new characters and plot twists, while tying up the storylines from the previous two novels. I heartily recommend this series to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, but the novels must be read sequentially.
Don't skip the introduction in which the author explains both the origins of the series and his general theory of why stories and genealogies matter; it's very interesting! Also, though I found the novel engrossing, this is not the book for those in the mood for light historical romance. It requires and deserves more attention than that. Like all Phillips' novels, it explores the meaning of living a life of faith, this time in the context of the American Dream. The theology challenges and inspires. The wrenching backdrop of the American Civil War reminds me of the cost of freedom and the American Dream, and of our frequent failure to live up to either one.
History, mystery, romance, high ideals are all here. I only wish I could start the books again for the first time!
Summary of Dream of Love (American Dreams, Book 3)
In this third and final book in the series, the Davidson family continues to help slaves to freedom as conductors on the Underground Railroad. With one son, Seth, a war photographer for a newspaper in the North and their other son, Thomas, fighting for the Confederacy, Richmond and Carolyn pray for both sons' safety. Meanwhile, the Davidsons are in financial trouble and about to lose their land. Cherity Waters has the ability to help them, but when she discovers Seth, the man she hoped to marry, with his old girlfriend Veronica, Cherity jumps to conclusions and questions the integrity of the entire Davidson family. All the while, the dangerous past of their mysterious neighbor, Mr. Brown, begins to intertwine with their own lives. As the turbulence of the Civil War disrupts a nation, will one family be able to survive intact as they seek to follow God's will?Historical Books
