A Forest Gump style amble through 500 years of American history. The families of the Eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay find themselves in the center of ever major event that shaped America. Entertaining and bold, if long-winded. Occasionally the stories stretched disbelief, but the characters were very strong and dynamic, with morally gray protagonists and diverse perspectives. Overall it was quite good with an exceptionally strong ending.
