The American Dreams series places Michael Phillips’s trademark blend of faith and historical drama in the American South. The three novels, published between 2005 and 2008, follow interconnected characters navigating the moral and social upheaval of the Civil War era. Phillips uses the period to examine questions of freedom, justice, and Christian responsibility.
The trilogy connects to Phillips’s Shenandoah Sisters and Carolina Cousins series, which share the same historical setting and some overlapping characters. Together, these books form a broader portrait of the nineteenth-century South as seen through the lens of Christian fiction.
