From Helen Bryan, bestselling author of War Brides, The Sisterhood, and The Valley, comes the second book in an epic trilogy told from multiple viewpoints - a story about the resilience, bravery, love, and unity that formed the foundation of the New World.
The frontier of the Commonwealth of Virginia, 1783. In the years since the first settlers arrived, looking to build new lives, the township of Grafton has flourished. Together, European immigrants, Native Americans, indentured servants, and former slaves have established a tight-knit community.
As time passes and America becomes a nation, Grafton is swept up in the tumult of the outside world. The Cherokees are rounded up and driven west. The Civil War leaves a long shadow. Newcomers make their mark, fortunes are won and lost, and loyalties are tested in the march of history.

First, the narration is spot on. Ms. Reading is a favorite of mine. She read the men and women differently, and performed the various Southern accents well.
The story in the Valley was a bit easier to follow, since there were less characters, until the last quarter of the story. This volume was more complex to follow auditorily. I had to rewind and make a mental family tree to try to follow each family’s line of descendants.
I wonder if there is a printed family tree in the books?
The characters are rich, and their lives greatly intertwined. The author’s note at the end of this story is quite intriguing, and explains how she came up with her idea to write the trilogy.
I am always drawn in when an author so richly describes life in a different time period so accurately and with great emotion. I am so very grateful that I live in our current time period, being a woman and an educator. Life was so very hard in the early days of our great country! The first 2 books move from the early 1700’s to the late 1800’s in a fictional valley in Virginia. I am so thankful for those hardy souls who survived to keep us moving forward...so that when my grandparents came from Italy in the early 1900’s, there was still a place of possibility here to build new memories. I look forward to the 3rd installment of this trilogy!
An Excellent 2nd Installment
