Dark Sky at Dawn (Free Men and Dreamers Book 1) by L.C. Lewis – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Dark Sky at Dawn by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A wonderfully written historical novel about the children of the Founding Fathers, who were the first American born generation. Set during the war of 1812, I found myself transported back to that era through the authors descriptive narrative and the added historical details. Following the signing of the Constitution, Washington, Franklin, and Hamilton have all died and the British have been trying to break the spirit of the new young government. America declares war to reconfirm her independence. Both Jed Pearson the heir to a large plantation and visionary women Hannah Stansbury believe that a more divine purpose awaits the Union. However closer to home Jed has a tainted family heritage surrounded by mystery, whilst Hannah’s family may hold the answers he wants. As treacherous forces on both sides battle to manipulate the outcome of the war for their own purposes, Jed and Hannah are about to learn the ultimate definition of liberty. A fascinating story with well-defined main characters in Jed and Hannah. This is an era of history that I’m not familiar with, and I thought the author did a great job of setting the scene and explaining the history whilst also providing an engaging story.
