The Memory Tree by John A. Heldt is a compelling sequel to  River Rising , book one in the Carson Chronicles series. Just like the first part of this series, and the others I've read by the author, this book was equally interesting, entertaining and emotional. It had a lot to offer in terms of the rich American history, WWI and the culture of the years long gone. This book was especially good because it had a twist which I was not expecting and the element of surprise really caught me off-guar...

This time they are hoping to catch their parents as they visit their ancestors. Adam and his new and pregnant wife Bridget settle in a cabin in the backwoods of Minnesota, neighbors to two women set to marry into the...

Not sure what I think of this one. The jury's still out! Overall, it made me want to read the next one. There were a couple problems (Greg, you're a playboy, sorta & some historical inaccuracies). But overall, it was a good story! Review to come.

I've been reading John Heldt's books for a long time. I keep coming back to them because I love the way he incorporates historical events, big and small into his books. It's time travel through history and I love that. He does such a good job of researching events and bringing them to life for me. There is a feeling of continuity throughout all his books as far as the time travel aspect goes. I like that too.This is the second book in this Carson Chronicles series so it picked up right where the...

Waiting for the next installment.

The suspense was almost too much at times and the ending even worse! Having read most if not all John's other books I can hardly wait.

Author John A Heldt provided me with an e-copy of The Memory Tree, the second book in the Carson Chronicles. I have had the pleasure of reading all of Mr. Heldt's books to this point. I have given five stars to each book so far on the sites that require them. That is 70 stars (I wonder where he keeps them all). The Memory Tree continues his run of fantastic books. I have been witness to his growth as an author, he continues to raise the bar for himself with each new book. Always an excellent wri...
