"Simply amazing! These books are like... "Gone with the Wind" meets up with "Eat, Pray, Love"; then whispers some "Secret life of Bees", forges some "Steel Magnolia's", and at times, wraps itself with the "Color Purple." Jeanette

"Simply the best historical fiction I've ever read - in all my 96 years of constant reading. I can't a book down once I start it!" Sophia

"Who knew I would love historical fiction? I'm 15. When my grandmother gave me this book, I secretly rolled my eyes. Just to please her, I read a few pages. Now I'm on book # 15. I thank her all the time! I even wrote the author!" Shelby

"My wife and I have read every book together. Our eyes and hearts have been opened to the truth of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction years that followed. We devour each new book. We hope Ginny never stops writing!" Graham

Unforgettable characters that will capture your heart. Rich, accurate, historical detail.

These are the hallmarks of Ginny Dye's work. The bestselling Bregdan Chronicles novels have captured the hearts of fans all over the world. This enthralling saga encompassing the Civil War & Reconstruction has twenty books right now, but many more are coming.

Book Description:

Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire - sweeping away dreams of freedom as chaos descends.

Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?

***************

This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You'll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern - and you'll fall in love with every character.

Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters - especially the strong women! - and have become completely entranced with each life represented.

The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you've walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually dreamed about them. But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over them several times. Life lessons. Sage advice. The kind of wisdom that comes from everyday life. Moments that were so profound, they pierced my heart with an accuracy that I can't even begin to explain.

As characters changed, I changed as well. What a journey!

Thank you, Ginny Dye!
