Home.

For over three hundred years, that's what the Hamilton family has called a shrinking swath of farmland in the Appalachian foothills of South Carolina.

Home.

That's the failing tobacco farm where Walter and Maggie Hamilton choose to raise their three children. Walter has big plans to make the farm more profitable, but his plans are interrupted by World War II and family heartbreak. Walter returns from the war a changed man and finds Maggie, too, has changed, neither of them for the better. But at least their family is together again at...

Home.

More than anything, that's where their eight-year-old son, Jimmy Hamilton, wants to be. However, after an unspeakable tragedy, he's sent away from the only life he's ever known to live with a kindly uncle in North Carolina.

Home.

That's where Jimmy is finally going to be, unless fate has plans of its own

A Song that Never Ends is the first installment of the Hamilton Place series, an epic family saga extending from the Great Depression to present day. Through war and peace, love and loss, triumph and tragedy, follow the Hamilton family on their journey from a run-down farm in South Carolina, through the jungles of Vietnam, to the top of the world in New York City, and beyond the gardens of stone at Arlington.

Absolutely wonderful read!

A song that never ends is a wonderful read! The author has done a great job portraying the struggles and triumphs of the Hamilton family. You will laugh, cry, rejoice and possibly get angry but it will be worth it in the end. Be sure to continue the anthology with the second book Roses in December. The narrator was perfect for this book and it's setting in South Carolina as well. I would gladly read these books again and will be looking for future titles by the author.

Poignant story

Incredibly touching story, beautifully written and narrated. If the second book is even half as good as the first...HOLY COW!

Like listening to a movie

Love it. I feel like I am watching it happen. Such detail. I can’t wait for the second book
