“So far, this series has not disappointed! The melding of historical events and people with the fictitious lives of the Kent family through the generations presents the readers with a gripping American tale. Amanda’s fierceness parallels that of her grandfather, Philip, as she fights to create a new beginning for herself and her son while restoring the Kent name and maintaining their ambition.”
