Blue Honor tracks four tightly twining families during the American Civil War. Each member is asked to sacrifice more than their share to see friends and loved ones through the terrible times. The only certainty they have is that nothing will be the same.
Emily Conrad is the bookish daughter of a wealthy dairy family from Vermont. Her indulgent father has educated her and bred ideas that aren’t acceptable to her more urbane mother, who thinks Emily needs to settle down with her longtime friend and town philanderer Evan Howell. The outbreak of war frees Emily from these expectations for a time, but a stranger soon arrives after the guns begin to blaze, threatening her plans more than societal conventions ever could.
Devoted to the young woman who healed her wounds, Henrietta has become part of the Conrad family, hoping that she may one day see her husband and son again. As a runaway slave, she’s been lucky enough to find this slice of peace in Vermont, but the return of Evan Howell and the man he brings with him portends great change that might see her locked back in irons, if not executed for what she’s done.
Evan isn’t as bad as his reputation has made him out to be. He knows his chum Emily will make the best doctor Vermont has ever seen, and he knows he’s not the man to marry her. With a little manipulation, he convinces his commanding officer, Lieutenant Joseph Maynard, to take leave with him and see the beauty of the north. He just doesn’t let on it’s not hillsides and streams he’s setting the man up for.
Joseph has both power and privilege as the son of a Baltimore lawyer, but neither can guarantee him the things he wants in life. His commission in the army is likely to lead to death, a sacrifice he was willing to make to end slavery in the States—that was until he saw Emily Conrad. Torn between duty and desire, Joseph struggles to stay standing for that which he once held strong convictions. War weary, they all march on to duty…

Just when I had resigned myself to believe that only the British had good historical fiction, I found Blue Honor. K. Williams does a brilliant job of painting a realistic picture of Civil War America. Throughout the saga, she stays true to the time period in speech and narration, transporting her fortunate readers deep into American history. It was a pleasure to journey through life with this relatable group of characters, to share in their joys, and anguish in their hardships.The blurb for this book does not do it justice. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Blue Honor edition by K Williams Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
From the moment I started reading the book I became entranced by the characters. K. Williams draws you into the story with vivid settings. I easily pictured the story and rather enjoyed the personalities of the characters as the story jumped off the pages. I felt I was stepping back in time and was given a real grasp of the complexities and struggles of the Civil War.
I've just finished the first 100 pages and cannot wait to get to the next page. I highly recommend this book as someone who thoroughly enjoys K. Williams' books.
In its’ simplest form Blue Honor is a love story. All the requisites for a fairy tale romance are present. The beautiful young woman, with aspirations of her own independence, meets the dashing young military officer. He appears, seemingly from nowhere, and performs an act of heroism that captures her heart and her mother’s concern. But as beautiful as the love story is, below the surface of the romance is a complex story of coming of age. Blue Honor’s complexity lies in the multitude of evolutions it portrays. The story follows not just the growth of its’ characters, but the growth of a nation and its’ people.
Ms. Williams graphically depicts the turmoil and confusion of the Civil War a young African American woman, discovered almost beaten to death, is nursed back to health by a Northern family; a dashing young Southern officer battles neighbors in his home state, as his ideology lies with the Union. We are shown what a truly strange war it is when countrymen battle one another dinner with the family one minute; a return to the battlefield the next.
Because the extremes of the period are so hard to comprehend, Blue Honor’s vivid imagery is most appreciated. We are settled into a bucolic farm in Vermont one minute, and pulled into a bloody battlefield the next. Also hard to comprehend are the morays and mindsets of the period, but they are woven so gracefully into the lives of the characters that the reader appreciates the depth of their struggles and the enormity of their evolution.
This has been my second K. William’s read and both have been an absolute delight. Ms. Williams has the ability to transport the reader into her world and befriend the characters she cares so deeply about. Blue Honor is a definite two thumbs up from me!
K. Williams novel Blue Honor is a vivid portrayal of a love story of Emily & Joseph that had me engaged right from the beginning. Set during the Civil War, the budding romance between a young northern farm girl and a handsome up and coming officer is hard to put down. The tale also entwines the less detailed life and times of Henrietta a slave that is taken in by Emilys family. This is a part of the story I wish Williams had elaborated on a bit further. I understand she wasn’t the center of the plot but she is a character you grow fond of and wish to learn her whole story. Perhaps in a sequal!
Overall, I enjoyed reading Blue Honor, K. Williams did an exquisite job of transporting our imaginations back to this era and making it a worthy work of the period. Her research into the details really shows and you realize how much it matters to Williams to get it right.
I will say that I do not feel the blurb does this book justice. I wasn’t pulled in by the blurb at all, in fact I picked up the book and started reading because this kind of book has always pulled me in. The intertwining of these families is so amazing, it just is seamlessly done for the most part. I became so heavily involved I read a little at a time, the better to digest what was happening. There was, at times, a lot to take in. This kind of attention to detail is exactly what made this book so beautifully done.
I highly recommend this book to history lovers, it is a wonderful example of a romance in the times of the turbulent Civil War. The depth of the characters is particularly well done, I had no problem imagining each and every one from the good right down to the bad. Kudos to K. Williams on a book that has made my favorite list, I will be going back to read it again. I am sure I will discover things that I missed with the first reading. Many thanks to the author for allowing me to read and review her book, I found it to be a wondrous story that I enjoyed immensely. Five stars for Blue Honor.
I am still reading this book and am enjoying it very much. The author uses a lot of detail and adjectives. In your mind's eye, you can "see" everything you are reading. The story reminds me of "Gone With The Wind". This author has been successful in presenting a wonderful story.
