It's really interesting the way you've been able to combine research into your own family with fiction to create these novels. I guess it's always difficult for migrants to come to a new country, but I imagine it would have been particularly challenging back then without all the access to services we have now. The theme of prejudice/acceptance is one that is close to my heart. I hope it does really well for you.Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-23537841757822907952015-05-14T13:42:07.737+10:002015-05-14T13:42:07.737+10:00I loved Next of Kin, Carol.

I'm always encouraging people to write down their stories so that future generations will have an appreciation of where they come from even if they don't want to do extensive research or write a novel.

It must be very heartening to study and learn about your ancestors - especially how God has led them and brought them through. I do like the theme you've mentioned in your latest book - that all are equal! Right after God's heart isn't it? Well done and may you touch and bless many through it.Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-45531700864019430672015-05-14T11:12:10.719+10:002015-05-14T11:12:10.719+10:00As another historical writer of a different era, I...As another historical writer of a different era, I really appreciate the research that you do for your novels, Carol. It really makes them come alive. And following up on your own kin must have been a delight.<br />I wonder if our future kin will have much material to research, in that we don't write letters today. Most of it is email... will that be preserved? Maybe we should all write brief histories of ourselves just in case future issue would love to know some of those intimate details.Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.com
