The Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister series by Michael R. Phillips follows its title character through nine novels set in Gold Rush-era and Civil War-era California. Written as Corrie’s personal journals, the books trace her life from her arrival in California as a young girl through adulthood.
The series ran from 1990 to 1996, starting with Daughter of Grace and concluding with Grayfox. Each book covers a distinct period in Corrie’s life, with the journal format giving the narrative an intimate, first-person perspective. The historical backdrop shifts across the series, from frontier settlement to the national crisis of the Civil War, while Corrie’s faith and family relationships remain at the center.
