Reviews
Well-Crafted and Thoroughly ResearchedHONOR & GLORY is a well-crafted and thoroughly researched Civil War era novel. Murphy really knows herr stuff... What makes this story a remarkable read is the respect Murphy has for the characters. These aren't just toy soldiers dressed in blue and gray or women in hoop skirts; they are living, breathing, conflicted human beings coping the best they can in very violent and unsettling times. C. Appell, Fearless Reviews
Held My Interest from Beginning To EndNot having read the first book... HONOR & GLORY doesn't feel like a sequel, but more like a continuation of the two sister's lives without leaving the reader feeling left out of the first. I immediately felt connected to Alice, Amanda, Sam and Wil and was thoroughly engrossed in the setting... with Ms. Murphy's historical facts weaved into the midst of her romance, this was a book that held my interest from beginning to end. Jennifer Russell, Round Table

Real History and an Exciting StoryIf... you enjoy romances but prefer them with more than just a love story, then look no further; this Civil War trilogy has real history and an exciting story in spades... Once again, Kim Murphy has done her research and gets under the skin of the Civil War without resorting to stereotypes. No particular side is favored... and the war is shown to be about individuals, rather than vague ideals... This is a good strong story that ought to please fans of Civil War novels as much as romantics. When is GLORY & PROMISE coming out? Rachel A. Hyde, MyShelf.Com
