John Heldt is a master of placing characters you love in the middle of compelling history. It's historical fiction at its finest, with time travel as a means of taking us to places and events which are made vividly real. HANNAH'S MOON is the heartfelt journey of a couple trying to expand their family, travelling to the waning months of World War II to do so. As Claire and Ron seek to move on after tragedy, Ron finds himself at the center of one of the most harrowing chapters of the war in the Pa...

Reviewed by Julie on www.whisperingstories.comThis is the fifth book in the ‘American Journey’ series by John A Heldt and the second I have been asked to read and review. ‘Hannah’s Moon’ is written in the third person from the point of view of several of the main protagonists.After a powerful and poignant start, Heldt wastes no time in getting on with the story. As previously, he has stuck to his formulaic time-travelling theme which is delightfully far-fetched. It is best not to overthink it, a...

4.5 starsI've been reading and enjoying John Heldt's books for years and I think I've found my favorite in Hannah's Moon. I've enjoyed all his books- I'm a sucker for a good time travel story- especially one that takes me back to a certain time in history that I can become immersed in. John Heldt is very good at bringing the past to life in his books. In fact, one of his books was set in Galveston, TX and after reading it, I wanted to go there so much. I'm finally going this summer! :)There is s...

An emotional roller-coaster you won't soon forget!This book will find a special place in the hearts of many readers, especially those, like me, who have adopted children to fill voids in their families and their hearts. Beyond that, however, this story will tug at the heartstrings of the remaining generation who endured World War II, and their children; both as active military and as the children, spouses and parents who anxiously waited for news in the deafening silence back home.Claire, a youn...

John A. Heldt gave me an e-copy of Hannah's Moon for review. I stress the "A" in his name because on the Barnes & Noble book site they offer the works of a different John Heldt. They are really missing the boat by not carrying "A"'s books.Hannah's Moon is the fifth and final entry in the American Journey series. As with all the books in the series it is not necessarily necessary to have read the previous books to understand this one. They all stand alone well.I am a bit saddened to have come...

I just love this cover!! And I honestly didn't want this series to end--maybe a new one will be started--especially the way this one ended. It ended on both a happy and sad but hopeful note. The author did a fantastic job of pulling the 4 books in this series together at the end.This 5th book will have you worried for the time travelers--after being really happy and excited for them.I am afraid if I write too much I will give it all away--and everyone knows I would never do that!!! This novel sp...

But her luck is about to change when she gets a phone call from her uncle, he tells her of time travel. Although at first skeptic, she decides to take him up on his off, and soon she and Ron along with her brother David travel back in time to 1945. For adopting a child in the 40's is much easier and faster than the present day.As they...

She would go to any lengths to adopt a child, but Claire Rasmussen never expected an uncle she barely knew to be able to send her back to 1945 where thousands of infants were waiting to be adopted. The process took mere weeks as opposed to the years she could expect to wait in 2017. Along with her husband Ron, and her brother David, they began their lives in 1945 with one mission, but what happened to them would turn into part fairy tale romance, part FBI horror story and a forced enlistment in ...
