Book Description

July 1996
House of Winslow Book 18- Stepping off the train at New York's Grand Central Station, Aaron Winslow left the numbing cold of the Klondike gold fields far behind. But he could not shake the bitter sting left by the death of his cousin, Jubal Winslow, who had died to save Aaron's life. No words had been able to touch the guilt and disillusionment he carried. When Aaron arrives in New York City, he finds his younger brother, Lewis, passionately determined to enlist in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and fight the Spanish in Cuba. Unable to stop Lewis, Aaron decides to join him and try to protect him. He's also considering the high-powered offer of going in as a war reporter for William Randolph Hearst and the New York Journal. For reasons all her own, Gail Summers is also volunteering as an army nurse to serve at the side of Dr. David Burns, a man to whom she is greatly indebted. But will her friendship with the godly physician stand in the way of what she eventually comes to feel about Aaron? Could something good come out of this war?

This book is breaththaking from breginning to end. one of the most popular Christian series, the House of Winslow takes the reader through America's history while unravelling the lives of the young Winslow men and women. Each book tells the story of a Winslow; the romance, the heartbreak, the serch for a forgiving God. this book was delightful to read, as are all the House of Winslow books.

5.0 out of 5 stars another great Winslow book, January 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I'm on book #20 in the House of Winslow series by Gilbert Morris. This is the story of the Spanish American war and Teddy Roosevelt mixed in with fictitious characters. I love learning about history by reading historical fiction of this type. Gilbert Morris is a master storyteller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Story but a Bit Rough!, August 26, 2009
By 
After the death of his cousin Aaron Winslow returns home. After being home for a short time his parents encourage him to go to New York to visit with his brother, Lewis, who is bound and determined to fight against the Spanish in Cuba.

Gail Summers lives in the rough area of New York City where it's hard for her family to make a living. Her step father takes all her earnings when she comes home so when the opportunity arises for her to become a nurse with the help of Dr. Burns she jumps at the chance.

Gail and her brother meet Aaron and his brother Lewis through the mission that Awlful Gardner started a few books ago. After their meeting they develop a friendship. Aaron decides to join the army to try to protect him. They get into the Rough Riders with the help of William Randolph Hearst, who wants Aaron to write about being in the army.

I must say this one wasn't one of my favorite in the series. It just didn't seem to get going for me. But it is still a good addition to the series.
