In Whispers of Love, Civil War widow Jessie Wagstaff must fend for herself and her son. When a stranger, Lee Smith, befriends Jessie's son, even though she recognizes nine-year-old Linc's need for a father figure, she's reluctant to let a new man into their life. When the Great Chicago Fire blazes, every heart is pushed to its limits. In Lost In His Love, Jessie's son Linc, a social activist and reporter, charms his way through the upper class of San Francisco to build much-needed support for his fight against child labor. His main target is Cecilia Jackson, a beautiful heiress who doesn't recognize the crucial part she plays in this dangerous exploitation. As the secrets of her family's dark past are exposed, Cecilia must revive her own wounded spirit and find the strength to lean on the never-failing love of Christ. But when the 1906 earthquake hits, everyone's faith will be put to the test. In Echoes of Mercy, Meg Wagstaff challenges the racial barriers of 1920s New Orleans in order to prove that her childhood friend did not commit murder. The stubborn lawyer prosecuting the case, Gabriel St. Clair, is an authentic Southern gentleman who makes the mistake of underestimating Meg, both her tenacity and her charm. Despite their many differences, sparks begin to fly. But when Meg discovers the truth, will Gabe be able to protect her from those who can't afford to have justice prevail?… (mais)

As the cover says, this is three novels all in one book. A book about three generations of women and the love that "saves them all". It is all about love between family and friends, about forgiveness is a world filled with evil and about acceptance.

What I liked about each story is that they all build upon one another. Many years take place between each story, but it is still about the same characters, only some have grown up and the story continues. I also really enjoyed how the author took three major historical events and placed them in each of her stories: the great Chicago Fires in 1871, the huge San Francisco earthquake in 1906, and the prohibition that began in 1920. She wraps the story line around these events and I always enjoy learning a little history as I read. I also liked the note to readers from the author at the end, which says, "I love writing about women and the men they fall in love with, but even more I enjoy unraveling the tales of how God challenges them to do more than fall in love. As Christians, Americans often participated in horrible excesses of violence and cruelty. But at the same time, other Americans fought against the intolerance, ignorance and poverty. I see our history as a long struggle between our Christian ideals and petty human greed and bigotry". In all 3 stories Jessie and Lee, Cecy and Linc, and Meg and Gabe will fight for what is right.

This wasn't one of those books that kept you spellbound and you couldn't put it down until you finished it. But it did have a lot of depth to it and it was well worth my time. ( )

It really read like a afternoon tv series on TNT. Plus I thought it was a little to religiouse for my taste. But if you like nice romantic stories with religiouse tones than this book is for u. ( )
