What reviewers are saying about Destiny’s Whirlwind…

“I found myself caught up in the McConnell’s life and saying to the book no don’t do it, on more than one occasion. … Catherine’s characters are real-life, and the story is a hard won maybe happily-ever-after ending. I haven’t read a family saga in a long time. Now that I’ve read Destiny’s Whirlwind I need to follow the family to the conclusion. Beautifully-written.” ~ Cindy Ervin Huff, author and speaker

“Catherine Brakefield has woven an interesting tale of love gained and love lost, life and death, war and peace throughout a tumultuous time of American history. Her characters draw the reader deep into the story as they journey through the stresses and joys of their lives.” ~ Marcia Mitchell, author and minister
