We just finished reading “The Courtship” of the Singing River Series. Is there another book following that tells about Lanie’s father getting out of prison & Lanie marrying? My husband & I kind of remember another book following.
Judy & John Sperbeck
I can’t believe that I never read any of his books before now in my 70’s! I just finished The Shadow of His Wings. I am an avid reader of history & I’m sure that he researched the first making of a hot air balloon during the Civil War. It was fascinating reading…the the southern women donating their silk gowns for the balloon!
