Four children…brothers and sisters born to the family Clarmore…their history and destiny intertwined through generations that came before them and foretold thousands of years ago…now it was their time.Gavril Clarmore has waited in the shadows of time for generation after generation of Clarmores for this time…for this generation meant to change that which he’d set in motion in his own lifetime. His journey began long ago, long before the Battle of Thermopylae…before the building of the Pyramid and so much more. He had seen it all and more…waiting…always waiting.His fate is intrinsically tied to that of the four children. He must teach and guide them as they travel through time to learn from the knowledge and wisdom of the Clarmores who have gone before. All have much for them to learn from and in doing so they are prepared for their own destinies that have been fated since almost the beginning of time.In They Will Know You – The Civil War Connection the younger Clarmores meet Linden and Preston Clarmore, both survivors of two different wars of their time. As they learn about the hot air balloons used for spy missions in the Civil War and surprising inventions of the early twentieth century shortly after World War I, they also find that things are not always as they seem. And that so much of what they have always taken for granted were often dreams of the impossible in the time of those they meet. They Will Know You – The Civil War Connection is a story of family. It is the story of generations of Clarmores who have never forgotten one of their own and in passing on his legend they become part of his story…a story of strength and courage, acceptance and faith, perseverance and resolve, and unwavering loyalty. In staying true to himself Gavril Clarmore teaches the greatest lesson of all to the four children he guides…their greatest strength is belief in themselves.The Civil War Connection is the first book in the They Will Know You series. Also available are The Seneca Falls Connection, The Wilberforce Connection, The French Revolution Connection, and Worlds They Left Behind.The They Will Know You series is about family. Even as the Clarmore children travel to visit family members of other times history is not all they learn about. No matter where and when they go family is who they meet and who they learn from…and often about more than the history that surrounds them.
