What a Finish to the Sign of the Times Trilogy! As America celebrated after the Great War, the contrast of Prohibition being enacted and women gaining the right to vote set the stage for the new lifestyles that became the Roaring Twenties. Newspapers became big business and were the information source for people in all parts of the country and the world. In this climactic conclusion, The Hammer and the Anvil weaves historical events with the story of the Collier and Standlin families, who realize their very survival is threatened when unscrupulous industrialists and corrupt politicians try to buy the Mercerville News-by any means possible. "The Sign of the Times Trilogy is a wonderful story that teaches the history of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The characters are strong, and the story is full of historically accurate events, while enthralling the reader in a family's struggle between new and old ways.Dr. Shawna Martino, College of Education, Grand Canyon University. "As a parent, I read A Sign of the Times with our oldest son, and it was a wonderful way of integrating history and literature. I went on to read the rest of the trilogy, evoking laughter and tears, and I felt inspired by these characters. It was nice to see how each book, including Rachel and the Hammer and the Anvil, continued the story of their lives, and the accompanying study guides serve as valuable tools, aiding students in relating to the content, enhancing comprehension, and acquiring historical knowledge as an additional benefit."Dr. Crystal McCabe, Ph. D., Grand Canyon University.

Autorenporträt
Emil Cicogna has been an educator at the high school and college levels since 1987, most recently instructing in the College of Education at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Inspiration for "A Sign of the Times Trilogy" included teaching history through literature using interactive Study Guides written for all three books. "A Sign of the Times" is the first book in the trilogy that begins in the 1880s, then moves through the early 1900s and World War I in the book "Rachel," and concludes in the 1920s in "The Hammer and the Anvil."
