book is a part of a series I picked up because they were in moms stash when she passed, I want to say she had the firstorand I have just kept it going, Quick recap: The first one of the series tells the story of Gilbert Morris the familys patriarch who sailed on the Mayflower and settled with others on this new land.
The subsequent books tell the stories of the generations following each one finding their own way, Each book starts with a long family tree and I have mentioned before that I am sucker for a family tree,
The Iron Lady is the story of three cousins of the Winslow clan from, They each travel to New York pursuing very different dreams, The characters they meet and they way they grow draws me in every single time, Priscilla, Esther, and Ruth all so different, but their foundation is the same, I highly recommend this series, but I wouldnt skip a single one Start at the beginning! Its an adventure,
Book Quote: “The heart has to be changed or well go around biting people on the ankles referring to a dog that couldnt be
taught or destroying ourselves in some foolish way.
” BookMy very first introduction to a series that wasted no time in claiming my heart, I loved everything about this book, from the three separate love stories, to the commentary on both the Boar War, and the Ellis Island experience, to the wonderful undercurrents of faith and family spread throughout.
There is also the return of a familiar face in the form of Scottish Dr, Burns, who finally gets his romantic happily ever after, However, while I did love his and Ruth's story, and just barely tolerated Priscilla's she does NOT deserve the unwavering loyalty and love of the guy she ends up with, it's Esther's that I enjoy the most.
The wonderfully honest, beautiful, and sincere connection which develops from the getgo between her and Jan, and the natural progression of their romance is so well written, as well as emotionally engaging.
I also greatly appreciated the spotlight placed on this period of time in regards to the immigrant flood which came to America, an event in history I find particularly interesting, in large part because of this book! This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites.
Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the members gets saved and finds true love, There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame, Truly interesting. This book has a few story lines, the main one being immigration in the earlyth century, It also touches on the development of motion pictures and cars, This is a Christian book, amp includes the Gospel message, specifically to one who did something that she felt couldn't be forgiven, I'll read this again Ruth, Priscilla, and Esther Winslow come to New York to find themselves, Each girl finds a different path in the big city, Where will their worlds lead them This book takes place in New York at the turn of the century, also published under the name sitelink Gilbert L, MorrisGilbert Morris was one of todays best known Christian novelists, He lived in Gulf Shores, Alabama, with his wife, Johnnie, He is the father to sitelink Lynn Morris and sitelink Alan MorrisSeries: sitelink Adventures of Kerrigan Kids sitelink American Century sitelink Appomattox Saga sitelink Barney Buck sitelink Bonnets and Bugles sitelink Cheney Duvall, M.
