I bought it to see how she would intertwine all of her families in her history. I could hardly put it down when reading it. It was so descriptive and so full of ideas for writing a family history. I especially liked the way she weaved historical and cultural events into the lives of her ancestors, re-creating realistic scenes and family conversations at places in the stories. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have followed her columns in Internet Genealogy Magazine. She is a great writer and story-teller. Hi Dawn,
