Love and Glory follows the lives of Lane and Catherine Temple and their family.  After the war with Japan is over, Lane returns home to his family and a failing law practice in Sweetwater, Mississippi.  He is plagued by haunting memories of experiences during the war.  Moving his family to the city, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in an effort to rejuvenate his law practice, he finds himself drawn up in shady practices in order to bring more wealth to his struggling family.  Along with shady deals, comes contact with conniving, dangerous people who threaten more than his law practice.  Will Lane make choices that will lead him into being unfaithful to his wife and family?  What about his business choices which seem to be drawing him into a web of deceit and danger?  Will Lane recognize the illusion of power and success for what it is – the ploys of the enemy – before it is too late?



I found The Innocent Years Series in general to be well-written but depressing over all, as the characters dealt with problems encountered during and after a soldier returns from devastating experiences during war.  However, although I found them depressing, I couldn’t bear to give up on the series and often finished a book in a day or two.  If you like stories about American History, particularly set during or after wars, you might really enjoy this series.
