3.0 out of 5 stars Least favorite of the Wakefield Dynasty, March 25, 2000

I wouldn't reccomend this as a good place to start the Wakefield Dynasty. The characters in this book seem to be disconnected from the previous books in the series, and there were too many Morgans and not enough Wakefields. I did like the part about Jenny's friendship with Nell, the famous mistress of Charles II, and the side plot about John Bunyan was fascinating. If you want to read all the Wakefield Dynasty books, by all means read this one. As a stand-alone, however, this book should be skipped.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Characters, January 25, 2005

I really liked this book because although it focuses mainly on Evan Morgan, it gives a lot of detail and focus on the other characters and their spiritual journeys as well as there search for true love. The histroy is probably my favorite thing about these books and they create an amazing back drop for these two families. I definitely recommend this book. However, reading the three before would be better. This does occur quite a few years after the 3rd one. It did seem to drag on somewhat but the myriad of characters and situations kept me reading.

Purchased the first three books in this series at a used book store. LOVED the story of the Wakefields! It's a terrific mix of Christian fiction and history all wrapped around this one family. Gilbert Morris draws you in and keeps you wanting more. It's a good thing there are 7 books in this series! I loved them all and didn't want them to end.
