From a Review of "Brookhaven"

A review of "Brookhaven" by Jody Collins on Substack: 

"As you know, Miss Putnam, every story has a before, a during, and an after. I think it's how we make sense of the stories we hear, to organize them that way. Novels are like that, generally." Sam McClure (the elder) in "Brookhaven" by @Glynn Young. Historical fiction is my new favorite genre and Glynn Young's story, Brookhaven is the main reason why. I was a poor student of the Civil War when I was in school, so I learned a lot about particulars of a number of battles, as well as the effects of the war on the South. Young manages to weave a love story into a mystery surrounding a stealth-footed youth whose undercover intelligence (supposedly) aided Robert E. Lee and his army of Northern Virginia during the Civil War. This poet also enjoyed Young's addition of a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem at the head of each chapter, making Brookhaven both a time capsule of literature and a captivating, history book-worthy tale. (from my Amazon review). If you’re a historical fiction/love story fan, I highly recommend “Brookhaven.”
