The Whitlock Trilogy
Summary
The Whitlock Trilogy brings together in a searchable boxset the three books of award-winning author Allen Kent's popular historical fiction family saga. Set in the tumultuous 1860s and 70s of the American frontier, River of Light and Shadow, Wild Whistling Blackbirds, and Suzanna's Song reflect the energy, tension, romance, and adventure that defined the nation's westward expansion. Kent's talents as a successful writer of best-selling thrillers combines with his intense passion for historical accuracy as he propels the Whitlock family and his listeners through Missouri's bloody Mormon Wars, the fracturing years of the war between the states, and the period of greed, prejudice, and courage that shaped the opening of the West. Juliet Scherer of Yettie Publishing wrote: "I just love this whole series. So thought-provoking and thoughtfully written. Wonderful historical fiction with contemporary application for the insightful listener.
