But soon she must envision an even greater dream than domestic bliss.

"Fun to read about the revolution from Martha's perspective. Reminded me of what amazing people they were and how willing they were to sacrifice for our country. I really enjoyed it because it seemed like an honest portrayal of their relationship - showing their strengths and their weaknesses. I would definitely recommend it."

    " I loved this book. This was the second Nancy Moser book I had read and was not at all disappointed. I actually learned quite a bit. I had to admit I had no idea how horrible battles were back then. I also loved the love story between Martha and George. Very well written. "

    " If you like your American history in the 'American colonists=good, British=bad', you'll enjoy this book. If you like your history delivered in a non-jingoistic manner where both sides exist in a shade of grey, you'll probably find the second half of this novel just as grating and hard to tollerate as I did (which is why I skipped most of it and went straight to the end). In that, she seems to have taken after Gilbert Morris. It suffers from all the same faults most Christian fiction does (sappiness, characterization that's lacking, plot that doesn't flow smoothly), though to a lesser degree than some, such as Janette Oke. If you want to get an idea about the life of Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, give this a read. I'd go find a non-fiction autobiography about Mrs. Washington if you're looking for a book you know you can trust for accurate information. "
