On the Trail of the Truth
Book 3 of the The Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister series
319 pages · First published 1991
Unanswered questions from earlier family events send characters searching for facts that have been obscured by time, distance, or deliberate secrecy. Following the truth threatens relationships because the discoveries may alter long-held understandings of both loved ones and enemies. The investigation unfolds within Michael R. Phillips’s broader Christian historical saga, where personal history and national history repeatedly intersect. The novel emphasizes persistence, reconciliation, and the conviction that truth remains worth pursuing even when the trail leads somewhere painful.
