Product Description
One Man's Death Had Saved His Life. But Can Aaron Winslow Save His Brother?

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?

By A Customer

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 A Wonderful Historical Romance, June 24, 2009

By	Jennifer Dieleman "book worm" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Gilbert Morris has such a talent with writing historical fiction. The House of Winslow series is well written and keeps me reading until the end. This story was especially sweet because it told the tale of Gail and her love for her brother. I enjoyed reading about how close the Winslow brothers were to each other. I also learned a great deal of the Cuban War. The description of the war was very real and made me feel as if I was sitting there watching the scene unfold in front of me. I am looking forward to reading the next story in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow moving in some parts, but very good overall., November 6, 2000

I really liked how the Winslows were able to take care of each other, and Aaron befriended Gail's younger brother and tried to keep him out of trouble. If you read "The Yukon Queen," you have to read this too!
