Publisher's summary

Threats and Promises of Family Fortune Come to Afton.

In the spring of 1867, two strangers arrive in the village of Afton, Iowa, where the Whitlocks have settled: One bringing trouble to the Whitlock business, the other bringing promise of family fortune. The visitors draw Suzanna Whitlock and her scattered family into the political and social upheavals that are re-shaping post-Civil War America.

An inspiring tale of commitment, courage, independent spirit, and acceptance.

This story presents a fascinating primer on currents influencing late 1860s US history while exploring the challenges of a nation coming to terms with ever-growing differences in race and class. It includes a poignant portrait of four family members who struggle to remain connected as the vastness of their expanding nation and the lure of new opportunities threaten to pull them apart.

Though written as a stand-alone novel, Suzanna's Song is the third and final book in the Whitlock family saga that includes River of Light and Shadow and Wild Whistling Blackbirds. The trilogy follows the Whitlocks as they flee the tumultuous Mormon Wars of 1840s Missouri, endure the national and personal tragedies of the American Civil War, and become part of reconstruction and westward expansion in the late 1860s.

A great end to a great trilogy.

I loved all the characters and the way they seemed like they could have been real people in that time.

Historical Fiction

Another incredible story in the Whitlock Trilogy! So many amazing, life changing things happened in America during the time this story takes place in the 1860s. This story continues with Elizabeth's work for the Suffrage Movement progressing towards Wyoming's statehood and Women voting. Labor unions began with the railroads and in this story impact the Whitlock lumber mill.
Chinese workers are a big part of the railroads bridging the East and West, and they play a big part of this story as cattlemen and homesteaders as well.
I loved the reunions that took place reuniting Grandmother, son, and grandson Whitlock as well as the entire Whitlock family reunion (minus Grandmother) in the Wyoming and Idaho territory borders on the oldest son's mountain. There's even a trip to England as they visit family estates and learn of the under ocean wires making conversations as fast as they are across the America lands!
The narration was again amazing! This series is like a Ken Burns documentary movie but with fiction characters mixed in. Including family names from the author's own ancestry.
