    About this ebook

    Glory & Promise is the triumphant conclusion to Kim Murphy’s acclaimed Civil War saga. Occupied by Union forces, Fredericksburg lies in ruins. After four years of devastating conflict, two sisters are plunged into the turbulent world of the war’s aftermath. Married to Colonel Samuel Prescott, Amanda struggles to maintain harmony in her home life, while Sam strives for order in the newly reunited country. But Alice has wed Amanda’s former beau, William Jackson. With the demise of the Confederacy, Wil has lost his command and must finally face the haunting truth about his past. The guns on the battlefield have been silenced, but war rages within all of their hearts, ready to explode.

    The first two books in the trilogy are Promise & Honor and Honor & Glory.

      I thought this was a great idea for a story. I like the story line quite a lot, but at times I found myself a bit confused and it wasn't all smooth going when reading it.I had a hard time connecting with the the romance, I didn't feel the connection between the two characters. However I liked the characters themselves and I loved when we went back in time with Phoebe. Sometimes I found it a little confusing because when she was in the dreaming I thought that she was suppose to be looking on at events that happened, rather then participating in those events. It's rather difficult to explain but for some reason I felt confused a time or two. And part of that is because when Shae hypnotized her we also went back in time but it was a little different. The time we spent in the 1600's was fascinating. Learning about the Native American's and seeing things more from their point of view was very interesting. Especially seeing how a white woman lived with them.I spent the whole time just waiting to see the proof that Phoebe really was from the past and had traveled back through time. I just wanted Shae to see that Phoebe was, in fact, telling the truth.Overall this was a good story and the history was fantastic. I love the time travel aspect as well. If you enjoy time travel and historical fiction then give this one a try.

      I’ve always been a strong believer In the Native American culture and how they interacted with nature and each other. As Phoebe jumped back and forth from the 1600’s to present time, it saddened me to recognize the changes and destruction we greedy white people have done with our planet. This wasn’t a fast paced story as it took it’s time building the characters and surroundings. There’s a lot of history and storyline to go through as Phoebe is regressed back in her memories, trying to remember who she really is. But as I neared the halfway mark in the book, I found myself reading faster and faster, getting more drawn into the story. I wanted to see if Phoebe and Lee actually connected and who Lee really was. I thought I had it figured out, but I was afraid that Phoebe was going to vanish just like she appeared, into the mist. I loved the way Phoebe talked and Murphy kept her true to her time period whenever the POV switched back to her, which couldn’t have been easy. I also want to point out, I was never once confused who was talking or the POV. The characters were well developed, even down to the girls living in the half-way house with Phoebe. The story takes us back through all the peril’s the colonists and Indians had to face back in the 1600’s. Kim Murphy did a lot of research and it’s reflected in the story. As a dabbler in herbology, I can attest to her proper use of the herbs that were used back then and even today. Herbs are so much stronger and better than the white man’s medicine. I really liked this story, but there was one point that stuck out at me. If Phoebe really was from the 1600’s, she wouldn’t be able to drink our contaminated water, let alone all the chemically processed foods we ingest on a daily basis. Her body would have rebelled and she should have gotten sick. I just don’t think she would have readily taken to eating processed foods and munching on French fries.If you’re looking for a good, paranormal romance, I highly recommend this book. I give it 4 feathers.
