Review: "Spring Will Come" by Ginny Dye & Virginia Gaffney

This is Part 3 in the Bregdan Chronicles. This fascinating segment picks up in 1862 with the siege of Richmond and the Peninsula Campaign and continues through the Battle of Antietam. All the favorite characters are back from the first two novels, Carrie, Robert, Moses and Rose just to mention a few. There are also some new individuals introduced and we say good bye to some others. Becoming more a social outcast, Carrie continues in her struggles to follow her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. Her relationship with Robert deepens but he is still struggling with his own personal issues concerning his beliefs and how these beliefs impact their bond. Moses continues his work for the Union Army while Rose pursues her dreams of becoming a teacher.

This series continues to be a wonderful surprise. Although the plot follows the main characters from the previous books, the authors repeatedly infuse new and different situations into the story to keep it interesting and page turning. They also drop titillating hints about some minor characters that lets you know they are going to be taking a major role in the story soon that entices you to read further. Pearls of wisdom and encouraging snippets that are as pertinent to the characters as they are to the present continue to inspire.

Again, this book comes with a high recommendation from me. The story just keeps getting more remarkable and engrossing with each volume. This can be read as a standalone because enough background information is supplied that you can follow the plot but to get the full impact of these wonderful chronicles, start with the first, you will be glad you did.
