DESCRIPTION:
Woodsever said Excellent historic novel. This is an impressive series and this particular book was very well done. After reading the Author's Notes at the end, I have to whole-heartedly agree with her statement that politics are no different now than then. It's a very true and sad thought. As to Johnny's racial identity dilemma and crisis I say "bravo" for excellent writing and in-depth charac. From 1800 to 2017: A Lovely Conclusion to the Trilogy Cora "Why should they live in fear for their families because their leaders could not work together?" --from A More Perfect UnionFinally—the third book in the series! I am committed fan of the first two, and found this one to be a solid narrative in its own right. You do not need to read books 1 & 2 to fully appreciate A More Perfect Union and its hero. Wonderful series Amazon Customer Lover of history found these stories magnificent interests.Accurate historically and brimming with emotion.I felt interaction between family and friends in that period just as charged as we see it all around us today in our time.RECOMMEND SERIES IN ORDER
In 1794, Johnny Watkins returns to America from Barbados, intent on becoming a great statesman. Then, a discovery about Thomas Jefferson, one that could sway the election, imperils not only Johnny's future but also his life. In the end, Johnny learns who his real friends are - and the truth behind the great promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.. But as he moves closer toward the new city of Washington, Johnny leaves Kate behind, falling instead for a prominent Maryland heiress who may not have his best interests at heart. He finds a spirited and lovely confidante in Kate, one of the few who knows that Johnny's father had been born a slave. Embroiled in the vicious politics of the approaching election, Johnny lives every moment at risk of being unmasked. There's just one catch: Johnny must learn to pass for white. Even his hero, John Adams, believes the gifted boy will go far
