The Thomas Family Saga Continues in New Series
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- The Berlin Wall. The Cold War. The assassination of
JFK. The civil rights movement. All of these events shaped the early 1960s.
Into this maelstrom of activity come the grandchildren of Al and Bea Thomas,
the babies born at the end of author Dean Hughes' bestselling "Children of
the Promise" series are now central characters in "Hearts of the Children,
vol. 1: The Writing on the Wall" (Bookcraft, $22.95, book on CD set $21.95),
the first volume in his new series about the Thomas family.
The children include Gene, the oldest son of Alex and Anna Thomas; Kathy,
daughter of Wally and Lorraine; Diane, daughter of Bobbi and Richard; and
Hans, son of Peter and Karina. Different in their personal and professional
lives, but bonded by the love of the Thomas family tradition, these cousins
face the challenges of a new generation trying to find their way through one
of the most historic and turbulent periods in American history.
Carefully researched and beautifully written, "Hearts of the Children, vol.
1: The Writing on the Wall" will captivate longtime fans of Dean Hughes and
new readers alike.
