In her latest stirring novel, A Father’s Love: Love and Honor, acclaimed author and Ruston native Jean DeFreese Moore transports readers to one of America’s most turbulent eras.
The story centers on James Britt, a courageous World War I veteran whose quiet determination to serve his community leads him to a transformative role only to discover that his influence widens when fate thrusts him into the heart of historical upheaval.
Embraced by the hardships of the early Great Depression, Britt’s journey takes a dramatic turn as his employer implores him to follow fellow veterans to Washington, D.C., during their quest to secure the long-promised serviceman’s bonus. His steadfast leadership and guidance offer a glimmer of hope amidst economic despair and political tension. As the U.S. Army clashes with the Bonus Army, the novel evolves into a powerful exploration of both physical and psychological healing.
Compared to books by Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey, Moore’s series celebrates intricate character portrayals that echo the struggles and triumph of a human spirit yielding to the power of God alone.
“In this sixth book, A Father’s Love: Love and Honor, the saga continues the story of Travis’ son Reid. Then it turns to Reid’s son James. We first met James in book two, as a young child. We’ve seen him grow and go off to war. He returned wounded and overcame barriers to marry and finish school,” Moore said.
“Now, James’ story comes full circle—from fighting the bullies on the playground and the violence of war, to standing against that same government he once faithfully served. But he must also deal with his inner turmoil and decide if he will become bitter, cower in fear or offer forgiveness.”
Readers will be inspired by how one man’s battle scars, both seen and unseen, evolve into a legacy of healing, leadership, and undying hope. A Father’s Love: Love and Honor will have the reader engaged with the lives of the characters who feel like family. This fascinating and gripping novel can be read without having read the other books in the series.
