Buy A Beautiful Glittering Lie

"Just finished reading the new J. D. R. Hawkins book. It was a real page turner. So exciting! I am anticipating the third book in this series. This author is surely one we will hear from long into the future."

"The history is intertwined ingeniously into the plot. It is well plotted and the narrative moves along at nice clip. The Civil War experience is related through the eyes of common folk rather than heroes and generals. The horror of battle experienced by foot soldiers is related. I look forward to the sequel."

"Civil war tore families apart, and many of those families fought to stay together every step of the way. "A Beautiful Glittering Lie" is a novel of the American Civil War, as J.D.R. Hawkins writes of the Summers family and the rift the war brought to their family. Drawing on her heritage to tell the tale, Hawkins presents an insightful and riveting read of a family at war. "A Beautiful Glittering Lie" is a strong pick for historical fiction collections."

"I read the book. Good book! Can't wait to read the second one.
