Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation

Cokie Roberts

William Morrow, 2008

Laurell K. Hamilton

Berkley Hardcover, 2007

Enjoying it for the very reasons critics whine - LKH offers us mirrors and possibilities
Goodness, all the whining and complaining, combined with all the hyperboloid praise, would turn any author's head ... into mush. Good thing LKH doesn't read reviews. Frankly, for me, and for many of us quietly enjoying her artistry, the very plot devices and dialogue ...

Wonderful Addition to the Series
This is another great book in The Ladies of Liberty series by author Tracie Peterson. It kept my attention throughout and it resonates with the power of God. It helps us remember that His ways are not always our ways and we may not always understand why things happen ...

Liberty's Journey

Liberty's Journey has touched my heart!
Each time I read this book I get a warm feeling when I think of all the immigrants who love and depend on Lady Liberty every day. I am so glad she is "back" on her pedestal at the end of the book.
