Stuart, V - “I think it is the best Civil War fiction book since Cold Mountain.”– James D. Bibb SCV Trimble Camp 1836 “[James] has drawn a picture filled with conflict and love, loyalty and betrayal, history and romance, and a passion of lives lived in the moment.”– Jim Miller, Civil War Notebook “Well written and expertly executed… You cannot leave this book unchanged in your understanding of the souls of the Civil War.”– Book Review Journal “Shades of Gray is a beautiful story with a timeless message. It touched my heart and soul.” – Catherine Bennett “Has the power to touch you deeply.”– MyShelf “One of the most moving Civil War stories I have ever read. I had to remind myself this was fiction.”– Review Your Books “The book took my breath away. Honestly, you will not sleep.”– A Bookworm’s Dinner Blog “This is not a contemporary retelling of the Civil War as much as it is a sympathetic and loving portrait. Interpersonal conflict as well as battlefield conflict make the book a page-turner and quick read.”– Historical Novel Society “[James’] work stands out among the best of the historical novelists, and is a worthy addition to the Civil War fiction line-up. Huzzah!”– Scott Mingus, Civil War Blogger “… Exciting, intense, romantic, and thrilling from start to finish. The most balanced book on the War Between the States I have ever read.”– Bob O’Connor, Author of The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln “Andrea and Hunter are like a Virginian, Civil War-era Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.” – Shana Schmadeke “Readers will find the attention to historical detail impeccable and the characters are so strongly drawn that the history does not eclipse the forward trajectory of the story.” – Foreword Magazine
