About the author
Parris Afton Bonds
75 books53 followersI am dancing on sunshine that you are visiting my little part of Parris's paradise here on Goodreads.
I write for the reckless at heart Not surprisingly, I identify with my novels' characters, both the protagonists AND antagonists. I suffer with their angsts and bewilderments and rejoice in their joys and triumphs.
And I believe that if we heroically hold fast to our own vision for ourselves in our journey’s confrontations and challenges, Life WILL surely manifest our dreams and goals and visions, as it does for my characters in my novels.

Very good read
For the most part I am for highly recommending this book, this series. I have a little problem with the abrupt ending, though. The writing and storyline seems to go along a very fact filled and passionate journey....then almost fizzles at the end. I wonder if this was supposed to be a second book on a three-book series that was just cut off at the end if book two. I love Bonds' writing and am a little disappointed with this ending.
I'm also wondering why the introduction of certain secondary characters and situations that didn't add anything to this very interesting story.
Bottom line, I live the way this author writes and weaves her stories together using historical facts.
On to the next book by this author....
