Oh, so some I am sad. Thomas Warburton was my favorite character. I was so hoping for him and Heather. Perhaps Peter Allen will take his place in Heather's heart.

I'm looking forward to reading this new book. I was wondering why all the marks for explanations, but when I saw them at the end of the story, I understood. Being a Canadian, and raised in the Anglican Church, all of these references were already familiar to me. lol

    Most of the references will not be in any published version of this but as so many of our readers are from the USA I felt it necessary to add explanations her. Many thanks for your review.

Hi Jim, this is a great first part to the second book. You have certainly vetted my appetite for knowing what all this is about. So, now we know that Tom Warburton died during the war to end all wars. I'm looking forward to what's next. Merry Christmas. Ulla:)))

Sorry to hear that Tom Warburton is no longer among the living. Nonetheless I am excited to learn of what new happenings will be taking place in the tiny town of Cleeborough St Mary. At any rate I am ready to get involved. So, please sir author, entertain me.

I am so happy to see you are posting again and even though it is 25 years later perhaps we will get some background as to what happened to those people we learned to love in "The Maid of the Mill." Starting off with Tom W. Well done, Jim. I look forward to this story as well. Nancy:)

So, Tom W died serving his country. I never expected that. I am wondering exactly what is going on here. How are Heather and Tom W supposed to get together if he's dead and how is he going to inherit her father's farm??? I can't wait for the answers.

The author is an excellent story teller. I like the opening of reviewing "The search of a woman." It definitely draws my attention to read onto find out more about it.

The conversation between Allen and Charles are good and easy to follow. Also it interests readers to know what happens next when they get together soon.
