The Titans (The Kent Family Chronicles Book 5)

The Kent family experiences internal conflict as the Civil War begins. During the war's brutal years, the Kent dynasty faces severe trials. Louis, the devious son of the late Amanda Kent, controls the family and presides over its apparent decline. His cousin Jephtha Kent supports the abolitionist movement, while Jephtha's sons remain committed to the South. As the nation divides, the narrative introduces characters based on prominent Americans of the era. The novel spans the full scope of the Civil War, from combat in the South to political events in Washington. It follows two parallel struggles for identity: that of the United States and that of the Kent family. The ebook includes an illustrated biography of John Jakes with rare photographs from his personal collection.
