Finished Legacy Of The Horses...Spring 1865, loved it so much. My friends, who read Because Of The Horses, are waiting in line to borrow it. —B. Crouch

Legacy Of The Horses...1865 and Hurricane Isaias are now melded in my brain. I was worrying about all the characters in the book as the world swirled around me-a thankful respite! Loved it and so I am counting on you to continue this saga. How does this region cope post-War? All of your research must be put to further use! —L. Harris

 I finished Legacy Of The Horses...1865 yesterday and dreamed about it last night. It's quite a story! I liked the way you dealt with postpartum depression and the effects of war. —M. Ferry

Legacy Of The Horses...1865 was a great with so much going on. You showed how life after the war was still dangerous with high emotions on both sides. I really am very impressed. —P. Sage

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Legacy Of The Horses...Spring 1865. I went back and read Because Of The Horses again before starting this one and it was a great journey in time--a period you rarely hear about--border areas of the Civil War and the tremendous impact the War had on their lives. I'm so glad you have written the second book. Your characters seem so real that I found myself just before I went to bed, worrying about whether Ford's wound was infected or not! —L. Lanier

Finished Legacy Of The Horses...Spring 1865 last night. Very good read and a wonderful story! —B. Parks

Legacy Of The Horses...Spring 1865 is a fine follow-up to Because Of The Horses. You brought to life a period and location previously unknown to me, filled with difficulties during those days. Here's hoping we don't get mired down in our current politics and have things happen "that shape (y) our destiny in ways you never have imagined." —P. Memhard

Reading Legacy Of The Horses...Spring 1865 conjured up all sorts of location images as I read along. I think my mind was drawing upon memories of scenery from the old 1970 Clint Eastwood movie, The Beguiled, and homestead scenes in the later Cold Mountain. The Johnson character was mysterious and edgy and I also liked the characters who were African-American.

To me they were very real. I had to wonder whether it was difficult to decide how to treat their spoken words. —T. Finley

I enjoyed reading Legacy Of The Horses...Spring 1865. It was very enjoyable to revisit the Marsh family and learn about how they and their neighbors fared during the war. It is interesting to be taken back to that time when neighbors, and even family members disagreed on values and how they each coped. The message resonates true today. I thoroughly enjoyed it. —V. Leri
