American Anthem

Meet the author

A Word from the Author

“The American Anthem is a story that's especially close to my heart, not only because music is such an integral part of the trilogy, but also because the characters are among the most intriguing and challenging I've worked with through all my years of writing fiction: the blind musician, Michael Emmanuel; the Irish-born Susanna Fallon, who tries desperately to resist loving the man she believes may have destroyed her sister's life; the lonely Scottish physician, Andrew Carmichael, whose past holds a devastating secret; the MacGovern family, Irish immigrants struggling to survive in the slums of nineteenth century New York City; and the precocious orphan, Renny Magee, who appoints herself an entire family’s unlikely guardian.

“I’m thrilled that Harvest House chose to release this beautiful new three-in-one edition of the novels, Prelude, Cadence, and Jubilee, and I hope you’ll enjoy the story. I’d love to hear from you after you’ve read it!”
—BJ Hoff, author of American Anthem
