From the Back Cover

A lively new decade opens with the threat of another war. The next generation of Stuarts has everything they could want. But with determination, they scatter to pursue their individual dreams. America's economy is booming after World War II, and the 1950s usher in a time of prosperity and permissiveness. The young Stuarts are ready to take advantage of a new culture focused on youth--rock and roll, fast cars, romance, and more. But after just a brief time of peace, the United States enters the Korean War. Will the "good life" destroy the Stuart family, or will the younger generation continue the legacy of faith? Beloved writer Gilbert Morris continues the saga of the Stuart family in Pages of Promise. With his well-researched and engaging storytelling, you'll feel like you're actually there, living the adventure. Formerly a college English professor, Gilbert Morris spends all his waking hours writing fiction. The best-selling author of the House of Winslow series, he lives with his wife in Alabama.
