Sea to Shining Sea
Book 5 of the The Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister series
320 pages · First published 1992
A family story expands across the breadth of the United States as westward movement, national conflict, and personal ambition reshape several lives. Journeys promise opportunity but also expose the cost of distance from family and the consequences of choices made in pursuit of a better future. Faith and reconciliation connect the private story to larger questions about the country being built. Michael R. Phillips combines historical sweep and Christian family drama in a novel where the phrase 'sea to shining sea' describes both geographic possibility and the enormous distance relationships must sometimes cross.
