Review: This is the best historical fiction series I have ever read! Spot on history, romance, suspense, and heart challenges that have inspired me and changed my life! I'll keep reading as long as Ginny Dye keeps writing! ~ J. Crowley Review: I've read the first 9 books in just 1 month. I can't put them down! I'm not getting much sleep, but I have loved every minute of this journey with the characters I have come to love. I've been inspired on almost every page, and learned more than I ever thought I could! ~ P. Farley Storm Clouds Rolling In is the very first book in the ongoing Bregdan Chronicles historical novel series. It's readers like you who have turned it into a world-wide best-seller. Book Description: Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the dark clouds of the Civil War swallow the country. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage, and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her? This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You'll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, free & slave, Southern & Northern - and you'll fall in love with every character. How many books will be in the Bregdan Chronicles? Here's what the author says: I intend to write these character's stories, one year at a time, for as long as I'm able to write. I'm passionate about bringing history to life through historical fiction. Since I'm amazingly healthy, that could be for a very long time! I don't like stories to end any more than you do. This one won't end for a very long time! ~ Ginny Dye REVIEW: I love The Bregdan Chronicles! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and I find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one....sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters, and have become completely entranced with each life represented.The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you've walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I'm not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over them several times. Life lessons.Sage advice.The kind of wisdom that comes from every day life. Moments that were so profound, they pierced my heart with an accuracy that I can't even begin to explain. Many times, the lives and hearts of each character were changed and rocked with revelation that came about in a moment, yet, so deeply touching the deepest recesses of the heart, that you can't go beyond it, without it having changed you as well, as you read it.Thank you Ginny Dye...not only for an amazing journey....but for those light bulb moments throughout each book that reached beyond the pages and made their home inside the soul. What can I say overall? Well, let me put it like this: these books are like... "Gone with the Wind" meets up with "Eat,Pray,Love"; then whispers some "Secret life of Bees", forges some "Steel Magnolia's", and at times, wraps itself with the "Color Purple." Sigh. Did I mention how much I loved these books? ~ B. Parker

Ginny Dye knows how to bring the Old South to life. Her character development and presentation of how life was during those days prior to the Civil War transport you to that time. For anyone who enjoys reading a great novel based on this time in America's history, this book is for you. Her idea to do this series covering one year in each book gives the reader a chance to absorb all the details in each book, and one can almost put yourself in the shoes of her characters. I have read Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind" 4 times from cover to cover, and in my opinion, this book and the following 3 books in this series rank right up there with that masterpiece of historical fiction. I'm currently reading the 4th book in the series, "Dark Chaos", and hope Ginny will continue this story in many books to come.
I would highly recommend this novel and all the ones that follow.The Bregdan Chronicles presents the reader with a multitude of issues during a very difficult time in American History. The story is presented in such a way that the reader gets a chance to see all aspects of the issues, all through the eyes of a wonderful cast of characters. I have read all of the books that follow #1, including Ginny Dye's latest, #5 THE LAST LONG NIGHT. Instead of writing a review for each one individually, I will just say read them all!!! You will not be disappointed.
This is the first book in the series. At first I was not sure that it would hold my interest but boy was I wrong! This book was so interesting and it really captures the heart of the reader. The characters are not conventional, and are flawed just like regular people. If you like historical fiction filled with love, relationships, adventure you will love this series.
I like historical fiction and this one goes into more detail explaining what led up to and how the civil war started and how the battles played out along with interesting characters and story lines. I am reading the fourth book in the series and have enjoyed the twists the stories have taken and the perspective of the characters who all have different points of view about the war, slavery and the outcome that would change all their lives forever.
I purchased this book as well as the other three on a hope they were good. The characters grabbed me from the start and I found it hard to put it down. I have all my books on my Kindle Fire and it goes everywhere with me. I found myself reading at any given minute I was still. Love the story
This is the story of Carrie Cromwell, a Virginia plantation owner's daughter who comes of age just as the hints of a possible war between North and South are being heard at social gatherings. Everyone she knows is in favor of such a war, except for her father, Thomas, and Robert, a young man she has recently met. These two plantation owners love the Union and do not want to see war. Unlike most southerners, they do not believe it would be a short, easy war. They, and the governor of Virginia know it would be a long, bloody war, with too many losses on both sides. Carrie is a strong, caring young woman who must make some very difficult choices as she is left to run the plantation for her father.This is a wonderful historical novel that makes us think about how the citizens, themselves, felt about the secession and the war. I truly enjoyed this novel, and I plan to read the others in the series.
I give this 5 stars because Ginny weaves so much well researched history into the lives of her characters. I can't wait to find out more about these character and how their lives will unfold.
The author provides enough detail for each character that you personally know them. The story is about the old south which is my cup of tea I love to read about the old Plantation Homes. I have visited many of the homes in Louisiana,Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas and the author is right on. The story line is great, Love the book.
