The author has pulled all the books together making a great historical entertaining novel for her readers. I was so excited and so involved in reading I didn't take the time to write reviews after every book. Now I am playing catch up writing reviews. WOW! What a great history lesson. I absolutely loved every book, I didn't want them to end.

Really great historical novel with personal characters.

I love this novel for it's story and characters, which were so cozy to go to sleep with but also kept me up with suspense and concern for them as well. I also loved the book because it gave some really good history of the Irish in the 1800's and the challenges both at home and in the US. Making it about those issues but with such heartwarming, real characters was great! I could just imagine my ancestors going through some of these things and in fact, they had! It really fleshed out some of the family stories I'd heard over the years. Thanks to the author for writing it and I am awaiting the next in the series to come out. I've read them all now. I recommend reading them in order, which I didn't but soon realized I had to go back to the beginning to really get the story correctly. Much more informative that way.

Review. A Turning of the Tide

A very good book. It is historical and that makes it very interesting. The characters are so real to life that they seem like friends. I like the way this author writes and would recommend her books to others.

Hellos & Goodbyes

Continuing Mary and James McGrother's story of life in a troubled Ireland readers find themselves saying hello to new characters while saying a farewell to others. I found this book as hard to put down as I found the first two in the saga. It amazes me how I can be transported to another time and place by a talented author. The characters in these books became real to me. I felt as though I was actually sharing the joys and sorrows of "friends" rather than fictional characters. I thank Ms Reinhardt for educating me as well as touching my heart with her words.

Book 3 Did Not Disappoint

Loving following the lives of these characters. I feel I know them.
