During one of the reunions, Bea said something like, "This is what the Celestial Kingdom is like." I felt that many times throughout the course of this series, and I almost feel envious that I've never experienced anything as horrendous as WWII and haven't gotten to feel the kind of joy that came after. I appreciated that Hughes didn't gloss over the fact that the war was never really over for a lot of people, which is another reason this family feels so real to me. They lived during an incredible time in history, but they still had regular problems. I love these characters so much, and I'm going to miss spending all my free time with the Thomases. Although it's probably good that now I can get on with my life. :) ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The war is over, and the Thomas family is slowly coming back together at home in Salt Lake City. But that doesn't mean all is well in Zion. Alex seems to be doing fine, but more and more often he wakes up with nightmares from the war. In addition, what he thought would be an idyllic life with Anna and their son, Gene, brings a variety of new challenges. Bobbi is in love with Richard, but she still struggles to know if she should marry him - especially since he can't seem to deal with a harrowing experience he had at sea. Wally, getting stronger every day after his experience in a Japanese POW camp, finds that adjusting to civilian life isn't as easy as he had thought. And Lorraine, the girl of his dreams, is engaged to someone else. LaRue, more mature and not so boy-crazy, wants to go to school back east, but her parents aren't happy about the decision. Beverly is thrilled that her family is coming home, but she doesn't always understand how they think or the decisions they make. She's also having to confront another challenge - boys. And finally, Alexander and Bea have their own problems to overcome. President Thomas is ready to fulfill his dream of a vast business enterprise run by his children. But, as Sister Thomas tries to make him see, the children may have different plans. In As Long As I Have You, the final volume of the Children of the Promise series, author Dean Hughes presents a moving picture of what life was like for an ordinary LDS family at the end of World War II.
