I just wanted to say that I just got done reading the series about Marie Dorian. I did not know that such a woman existed ever. You did a wonderful job of bringing out her spirit. She is truly a real hero. The way you brought fact and fiction together is amazing. I applaud you!! She really touched my heart, and by the end of the series I felt like I was one of her family, and when she died, well I cried. That was how close I felt to her while reading it. Amazing!! I look forward to reading other books by Jane Kirkpatrick.
