Illinois!

one of the best in the series it's interesting that this is the first one not written by Noel B. Gerson because he had died recently

This book is perhaps the best of the series. You start off with the introduction of Janessa into the series, Toby's love child that he was unaware of. AFter exploring how the family deals with its new-found child, and the culture shock involved, you have a Hot Story...The Chicago Fire of 1871.This novel's portrayal of the Great Fire is tremendous. One gets the adrenaline and fear of what a massive fire can do just by reading this book. It is a rush and hard to put down.Definitely recommended.
