A Release Day Celebration and ★★★★★ Book Review of Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Greene, Book One in the Windy City Saga | A Historical Fiction Novel

A Release Day Celebration and ★★★★★ Book Review of Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Greene, Book One in the Windy City Saga | A Historical Fiction Novel

Historical Fiction

A truly enjoyable, endearing and inspiring story of faith, perseverance, family and overcoming life’s obstacles!

I thoroughly enjoyed author Jocelyn Green’s beautiful retelling of the disastrous, life-changing Great Chicago Fire in 1871. Veiled in Smoke is a tender, heartwarming historic fiction novel so with a touch of mystery and romance!
