Great series on LDS people experiencing World War II. Probably read all 5 in the series during this year. Very worthwhile. Hughes compares to Lund. ( )

A book full of selfish, sometimes priggishly sinful, yet unidentifiable-in-a-crowd characters that never quite reach maturity... with the exception of Wally. Which is why this book gets the rating it does. ( )

I loved this series when I was a teenager. It doesn't suffer quite as much in cheesiness as most LDS fiction does, and Dean Hughes clearly did his research on this era. ( )

This series recreates the era of World War II in stunning detail. But more than that, the author shows how the war affects an ordinary family of Latter-day Saints. If you’re interested in LDS or world history, or if you’re simply looking for a powerful LDS novel, you won’t want to miss this series. ( )
