Loved the whole Collection

What wonderful writing that Rachel has and how she was able to really grab you and take you into the book this is a fabulous series

You definitely are gonna cry, I love the ending.

This is absolutely a wonderful storyline that makes you think the author stepped back in time and truly witnessed this era. I love how it all came together. I love there is more of these novels, so, on to the next novel. The Narrator is astounding and able to keep these stable characters voices straight. So well, you think there is more then 1 narrator. Don't you just love it how a plan to change evolves to make life better. Where would we be at without those who survived and made a difference. I could continue reading the lives of these characters. Absolutely remarkable.
