Publisher Description

Five-time Christy Award winner Lynn Austin spins an enthralling, multi-generational tale spanning from 1848 to 1920. While 20-year-old Harriet is behind bars, she reviews the history of her great-grandmother's fight against slavery, her grandmother's crusade against "demon rum," and her mother's struggle for women's suffrage. Now she longs for the courage to leave her own legacy. "This is an entertaining and engaging faith-based tale sure to hit best-seller lists and the awards circuit."-Publishers Weekly

"This was a very interesting story about four generations of women and the differences they made in their lives (from helping slaves escape on the underground railroad, to prohibition, to women getting the right to vote, to helping business succeed while most of the men were gone to war). Some parts were slightly hard to follow when switching between characters, but overall a very enjoyable read."

    " What I liked about this book was the layers... the four generations of women who told their stories. There were some parts of the story that I didn't like, (as in, I would have changed!) but overall, it was a nice, easy read. Harriet is so funny!! And Grandma Bebe is even funnier. But I still think she should have married Neal... read the book, and I think you'll agree with me!! =) "

    " Not my absolute favorite of hers, but still a good, uplifting little read. It did inspire me to try to be a better person and get up, get out, and do something important. The main character in the story was the only one I didn't really like all that much and the ending was a bit disappointing, but overall a good book. "

    " This book goes through four generations of women, beginning around the time of the Civil War. Each woman fights for her beliefs and looks to God in her struggles. It is a very motivating book, and while there were sad parts, there were also funny parts. My favorite character was Bebe. She went through a lot, and yet still remained a kind, caring person. "

    " What a nice way to end 2012. I hated for this book to end because I wanted to continue to to visit with these remarkable women to see how they met the challenges and injustices that came their way. I would love a sequel. "

    " Set during the Prohibition era, so I was fascinated by the story. I love how Lynn Austin can take you back and forth in time without confusion. This author is a MUST for anyone who enjoys Historical Fiction novels, Christian novels, and/or a great combination of both! "

    " Another great inspiring story by Lynn Austin. She is quickly becoming a favorite in the Christian-Fiction genre. This story spans 70 years and four generations of women and includes The Civil War and the emancipation of the slaves, prohibition, the Suffrage movement and WWI. Highly recommended!! "
