Customer Reviews

a great Civil War story

This one is a winner even if the heroine is a bit too spunky at times. The great hero and the wonderful Reb characters make up for her. Garrett is a fantastic hero with an acerbic delivery to his lines that I loved. There is also a wonderful secondary love story between a war veteran who feels he has nothing to offer a wife and the woman who refuses to give up on him. Piel doesn't stint on showing war in its true light along with its effect on the soldiers who fight them.

A must read........I loved it.

Stobie Piel followed up her wonderful saga of confederate Jerod Knox and Pippa, with this incredibly written story of yankee cousin Garrett and "watkins". Great romance, great action, great history and characters with a sense of humor. I've just finished it and know I'll re read it again soon. I am into "civil war" historicals and to that end have ordered and read a hundred to date and this is one of my all time favorites. (Jarod's story is also a good read and a keeper.) enjoy....and thanks Stobie. Great job.

One of the best ever

A Brighter Dawn is incredible! Talented author Stobie Piel tugs at the heartstrings and tickles the funny bone in this beautifully researched, masterfully written book on the Civil War. She resists the temptation of moralizing, while painting a vivid picture of the war's poignancy and heroism. If I were you, I'd run to get this book. Cherish it. Save it for generations to come. It's a tour de force by wondefully gifted writer
