Once I started reading “Sweet Glory” I had a hard time putting it down. I found the book to be fast-moving, very stimulating, fascinating from a historical point of view and overall one of the best historical novels I have ever read. Your story, which is equally attractive to both the adolescent and adult population, also features something of great interest: women involved in combat and taking an active role in military operations in the civil war. I think most of us thought the role women played in the civil war was more of a nursing/medical supportive role. The National Women’s Hall of Fame and the National Organization for Women should be made aware of your great book. “Sweet Glory” is also a great plot for a movie.

This book fits right in with others that include the subjects: the Underground Railroad, quilting, young women, the Civil War, etc. The pages are well-written and have an element of suspense in spots, making the reading not only interesting, but exciting. The story reveals some of the life and anxieties of the period, including the feelings surrounding the conflicting philosophies separating the North and South. All in all, a very well-written and interesting book.

This sequel to Sweet Glory does not disappoint. Jana and company are no longer serving the Union, but they manage to encounter one new danger after another. The book cleverly (and very naturally) segues from the Civil War to the Women’s Suffrage Movement. While it’s rich in historical detail, it’s also the story of the growing bond between friends. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for Jana and the gang.

Well done. Gave a new dimension to the Civil War. Potocar showed sensitive insight into the protagonist who served the Union. The author’s attention to language of the times, the details of living are so well done. Again, in this sequel to Sweet Glory, Ms. Potocar characterizations and plot keep the reader turning the page. The novel is a testament to women who believed they could make a difference. Glory Be!
