Editorial Reviews

The final book in the "American Family Portrait" series (e.g., The Victors, 1998) shows the Morgan family facing unexpected challenges in the 1960s. A turbulant time in U.S. history, the era proves difficult for the Morgans as well. Perplexed by a generation totally different from their own, Nat and Allegra Morgan can only watch and pray that their children survive their troubled youths. Their daughter, Paige, rebels against her parents by refusing to attend church, and her rebellion becomes more pronounced as she gets more involved in campus life. Meanwhile, her brother, Travis, is sent overseas to fight in Vietnam. Although some of the dialog is stilted (especially that of the younger generations), Cavanaugh delivers an intriguing portrait of a devoted family's reaction to an era.
