"Marguerite Martin Gray takes a world that we only see dimly in textbooks and brings it to life on the pages of this series. As it should be, each book gets better—almost exponentially so. Bring Me Near is my favorite, but I have every hope that she’ll replace it with another favorite… and another.

One can hope, right? Please? If I bake cookies while you write?

In this novel, the characters grow stronger, richer, and more complex. Even when you’re annoyed with them, it’s because they’re so true-to-life. Seeing a Frenchman become so invested in America’s beginnings, and seeing the same events from several colonists’ sides brings to life so many facets of the war.

If you love intrigue, you’ll find it. Secrecy? Oh, yeah. Torn allegiances? What about brave young boys and surprisingly good markswomen? Yep. Them, too.

The plot has depth, both politically and spiritually. You see growth in more than just the main characters and in more than just from the last book. Even as this book progresses, you get a sense of how time changes people.

The most unlikely people become heroes among the patriots of Charles Town in 1775—heroes because they become willing to make the difficult decisions to do what they believe to be right, regardless of personal cost. Regardless of fear.

That is a hero in my book.

I only noticed very minor elements that I had trouble with in past books—so minor that I can’t even remember what they were. It feels like there was a minor theological quibble. Maybe? I don’t know.

What I do know is there just isn’t much to complain about. Perhaps it’s due to the author’s personal writing growth, perhaps it’s the nature of the story, or perhaps I just enjoyed myself so much that I didn’t notice. And you know what? I don’t care which it is. That’s right. I don’t care. Because when you make me love a book, that’s all that counts. I loved it. And I’m stinkin’ bummed that I have to wait for another. On the other hand, I am SO glad that I requested a review copy. I'm off to buy the series. In paperback. I liked it that much.

Why do patriotism and heroism matter in a book? I’d say because they matter in real life. These people suffered and died for the cause of freedom. That matters. After all, Jesus suffered and died to procure our freedom."

• “Now, more than ever, she had to find courage to support her words and beliefs.”
  
  Book three in the Revolutionary Faith series, Marguerite Martin Gray’s “Bring Me Near” proves to be even more captivating than its predecessors. The amount of research done by the author clearly bears fruit throughout the narrative as readers find themselves immediately submerged in the Colonial era and able to see the various conflicts from multiple perspectives. Despite being historical fiction, the novel has a strong factual background and is appropriate for teens and up who are looking to increase their knowledge of the time period. Through Louis’ vantage point, we evidence the growing discontent among the partisans and the emergence of revolutionary leaders in Charles Town, including how everyday townspeople have to put their lives on the line as rebels against the Crown. The process culminating in outright war develops by degrees, as attempts at reconciliation are dismissed, and the impact on the citizens of Charles Town follows a similar pattern.
  
  Elizabeth’s experiences drive home the conflict’s effect on ordinary families. The fears and uncertainties of the immediate future resonate strongly today, too, and I wonder how many of us would be as willing as the Lestarjettes to sacrifice for their country. The women suddenly must learn how to defend themselves as the war draws closer and calls away their husbands and sons. Faith in God was essential for the colonists as they faced seemingly overwhelming odds, and that same faith is just as necessary today. I find myself wondering if I would have the strength and courage that Elizabeth demonstrates if I endured so many trials. I also appreciated that the Loyalists’ dilemma is given some thought losing possessions and respected positions and sometimes causing schisms among families, not to mention neighbors. Although obvious antagonists, George and Victoria nonetheless evoke sympathy because of their misguided actions, and my heart aches for them both. I eagerly look forward to continuing Louis and Elizabeth’s journey and hope that more books will follow in this absorbing series!
  
  I received a complimentary copy of this book through CelebrateLit and was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are my own.
