Toward the Sunrise

I have been reading Christian fiction and historical fiction for over 5 years. I was tired of reading books that had so much adultery and sex in them. This is the third book in a series that takes the reader into World War II in a way that makes it more human and sometimes tragic in fact. I would recommend this series and the Zion Covenant by Brock and Bodie Thoene if you want to learn about World War II in a more human way.

This book (series) is great. It inspired me so much! Through the trials, heartaches, and the seperation of the family these girls seem to be able to hold on by the Grace of God. If you have not read the book do so. It captured my heart on the first chapter of book 1. It helped me believe more in God that he's there and always be there through the thick in thin. But it saddens me that this wonderful series ends. It was great and inspiring! Judith pella is an extremely good writer i hope one day i'll be like her, and write great stories, too.

Jacki moves into the American version of a kinder, friendlier concentration camp to be with her husband. They share some months of their lives together. But Sam feels he must prove he's loyal to America. So what does he do? - Signs right up for the Army... Cameron's still chasing news, a certain Russian doctor, a dangerous secret of her mother, and discovering more and more of her baby faith. She finally catches up with that elusive doc BTW. Blair gets to spend some time in a restful place with a few different kindhearted families, but malaria and the outdoors life seem to want to break her. She finally meets up with Gary and they have a few months of life together, even if it is in the middle of a jungle being chased by death every which way. But then Blair's captured by the Japanese and all hope seems lost. Blair's always been the delicate one, but she's going to have to find strength within and without to make it through this trial.

"Towards the Sunrise" is the third book in the "Daughters of Fortune" series by Judith Pella, and this was Great! This book focus on the youngest of Keagan Hayes daughters Jackie, and her struggles in her marriage of Japanese-American during World War 2. This is not to say that sisters Cameron and Blair stories are left alone. Ms. Pella still does an excellent job in showing their lives and their discovery of religion. This book is a great read for anyone who enjoys book that are set during war-time or any fan of Ms. Pella.

I have gotta say I loved the entire Daughters of Fortune series. This one has a much sadder tone to it than the other 2 books but it's still great. The only thing I hate is that I have to wait until Spring of 2005 for the next one to come out! I don't think I can take the suspense! The book shows a great deal of the characters reflecting on all the the events that happened during the war. From Blair's fight for survival in the Phillipines, Cameron's dilemmas with the Soviet government and her Russian doctor, and Jackie's struggles against racism because of her Japanese husband. I loved this book so much!I would recommend it to anyone who loves books about World War II.
