Thank you so much, Vonda. I'm very new to Goodreads as you spotted - not sure how to use this site but love discussing books etc. A lot of people like book 2 in Hope House even better than book 1 so hopefully you enjoy it. My publisher hasn't yet made a decision about a book 3..... Will keep you posted. Thanks again, best wishes Rach
