Praise for
Love of Finished Years
"A wonderfully satisfying read."
—Chanticleer Reviews
“What a truly wonderful story! I’ve read it three times, and with each reading I find myself caring about the fabulous characters and their lives even more.”
—P.J. Alderman, New York Times Bestselling Author
“From the riveting opening that takes place in NYC’s Lower East Side’s sweatshops until its gripping conclusion, this enthralling novel vividly portrays the desperate times of German immigrants landing at Ellis Island in 1905 in search of a better life. A timely read ... it illuminates the issues that we are experiencing a century later...Phillips reminds us that love, light, and perseverance can help us find a way to overcome almost any obstacle."
—Chanticleer Reviews
“I do hope the author has a sequel in the works...a beautiful novel that is set in a fascinating time in our nation’s history.”—-Linda S., Boulder, Colorado

Love of Finished Years
A Novel
Gregory Erich Phillips
Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope, love of finished years.
—“Echo,” Christina Rossetti
