REVIEW: Walk by Faith by Rosanne Bittner

REVIEW: The Lady and the Rebel by Kathryn Albright

JayneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsAmerican historical / captivity narrative / Historical fiction / Reconstruction / Texas / War / Military / western6 Comments

Dear Ms Haseloff, Years ago I read the DIK review at AAR for this book. I was interested and purchased it. I read it and was blown away by it. I contacted you and you were gracious enough to email with me a little about this book and others you’d ... more >
