Chickadee
It is 1869 and the Civil War has been over for four years. Life on the farm has been relatively unaffected, Clara, Lizbet and Joshua living in peace and expanding both their livestock and pastures. However, an unexpected meeting on the road is about to change everything.
Clara is fast becoming a young woman and receiving interest from those who would take her as their wife. On a journey back from the nearby town, she meets two sisters who had once been slaves. Inviting them back to the homestead, this chance meeting impacts upon all their lives in ways they could not imagine.
Joshua’s contentment becomes undermined by his past as Lizbet sickens with a fever. Her condition brings with it a proposal, one that she is hard put to refuse when confronted with the possibility of trouble at the farm.
Read Chickadee and discover what will befall the characters as they adjust to changes wrought upon them by age and by the world beyond the shelter of the life they have known.
Chickadee is the 3rd book in the Runaway Series.

Best of the series so far
This book has been the best of the series so far. It is set during the reconstruction stage after the civil war. It tells the continuing story and adds in the neighbors . Even though it is set after the civil war peoples emotions we're still running high against the slaves that were freed and they still basically had to fear for their lives. This book kept me up wanting to see what happened and I had to finish it before I could put it away. I am excited to begin reading the final book in this series that was released today.
