This historical saga took me on a journey from the end of WWI through the beginning of WWII. Through Travis and Barclay I had a very unique view of the politics of World War I, prohibition, the depression and the tensions rising to World War II. More interesting than the perspective on history however, was the family dynamic of the Kanes. From the beginning, the family had significant issues. Clearly, Travis' mother felt uncomfortable in Barclay's house, there are several reasons explored throughout the story, but none that we know for sure. Though, there was something strong enough for Hannah to force herself to abandon her son and leave with her newborn daughter. Travis is the most affected by his mother's abandonment and his grandfather's pressure to make him into something he is not. I'm not sure his character ever really comes to terms with his mother's actions or his grandfather's will. However, I am glad that Travis seems to finally do what makes him happy in the end. I was really interested in Travis' artwork, his style and the mission he was sent on. Hopefully I will discover more in book two!
