But the Lord is good and I feel his present help in this time of grief. Thanks for writing such a great story. I'm looking forward to the next one!

I cant imagine how hard that must have been. I know when my dad died that I couldn't write for a while because of the grief, so being unable to read for a time makes sense. I'm glad you're doing better now and moving on. Thanks so much for adding Whispers on the Prairie to your special list! The sequel, Call of the Prairie, releases on January 1st--just a few more days.
