About this ebook

When America's most unpopular war unleashes violence both at home and abroad, the country's spiritual moorings are shaken as never before.

The Vietnam War. Hippies. Social protest. Racial tension. Onto this volatile backdrop of cultural and political turmoil, the latest generation of the Morgan family takes center stage. Easy-going Travis and his sister, Paige, an impassioned artist, are swept away by causes of the day-he, unwillingly, to Vietnam; she, of her own choosing, to demonstrations on college campuses. Both grow cynical as they are exposed to the horrors and hatred of ambitious leaders with deadly agendas.

Crushed and to the point of ultimate despair, Paige finds a cause worth living for when she encounters the Jesus Movement and begins a personal journey with God. When Travis returns from the war, broken and disillusioned, Paige embarks on one last crusade, to bring him to the Christ who healed her.

Join the thirteenth generation of the Morgan family in America for the dramatic conclusion to the series that began in the castles of England and stretches more than 300 years to the jungles of Southeast Asia.
