Justice Be Damned
How do you fight for justice against those whose interests it does not serve? William Dixon is about to find out. 1870 - William Dixon will not ignore injustice. The Reese brothers have been released from prison and no one has been made to pay for the life they took, nor the damage they caused to Cochrane’s Farm. As his sister, Molly and her husband Daniel set out to rebuild their farm, William takes the fight onto the political stage. Whilst his wife, Cecilia, runs Dixon’s Attorneys’ office in Pierceton, William begins on the campaign trail. He may not have the backing of the establishment, but his oratory is outstanding. The Fifteenth Amendment has broadened the electorate, but politics is still a white male preserve. William sets out to speak for those who have no voice. He stands on a ticket of equality and fairness. Lauded by some and vilified by others, everyone has a view on William Dixon and some will go to great lengths to stop his progress. How do you fight for justice against those whose interests it does not serve? William Dixon is about to find out.

About the author
Rosemary J. Kind
27 books154 followersRosemary J Kind writes because she has to. You could take almost anything away from her except her pen and paper. Failing to stop after the book that everyone has in them, she has gone on to publish books in both non-fiction and fiction, the latter including novels, humour, short stories and poetry. She also regularly produces magazine articles in a number of areas and writes regularly for the dog press.
As a child she was desolate when at the age of 10 her then teacher would not believe that her poem based on ‘Stig in the Dump’ was her own work and she stopped writing poetry for several years as a result. She was persuaded to continue by the invitation to earn a little extra pocket money by ‘assisting’ others to produce the required poems for English homework!
Always one to spot an opportunity, she started school newspapers and went on to begin providing paid copy to her local newspaper at the age of 16.
For twenty years she followed a traditional business career, before seeing the error of her ways and leaving it all behind to pursue her writing full-time.
She spends her life discussing her plots with the characters in her head and her faithful dogs, who always put the opposing arguments when there are choices to be made.
Always willing to take on challenges that sensible people regard as impossible, she set up the short story download site Alfie Dog Fiction in 2012. During the six years the site ran, she built it to be one of the largest such sites in the world.
Her hobby is developing the Entlebucher Mountain Dog in the UK and when she brought her beloved Alfie back from Belgium he was only the tenth in the country.
She started writing Alfie’s Diary as an internet blog the day Alfie arrived to live with her, intending to continue for a year or two. It has now run for over fifteen years and is repeatedly named as one of the top ten pet blogs in the UK. You can read Alfie’s Diary at www.alfiedog.me.uk
She now lives in Warwickshire with her husband and dogs Alfie, Shadow, Wilma and Aristotle, the latter being Shadow’s wayward son.
She hopes you will enjoy reading her work.

The last book in this series finds the orphans adults participating in broader community and very much involved in the social events of the day. The story addresses issues of racial injustice and the struggle for women's rights to vote. The Reese brothers are finally tried and sentenced to prison for a small part of the aggression they had taken on part of the Flyn's. Will becomes a legislator and is eager to make social changes. There is healing and hope for the orphans, their families and friends. The story was set in a historical time. Many of the issues are still prevalent today.

What a fantastic series of books this has been. I’ve read the entire series in 6 days. Each book had me wanting to keep reading far longer than I should have.
The main characters in the book were all fantastic and with the exception of Tom for a short time in book 2 you can’t help falling in love with them all.

Great story
What a wonderful story. From life in Ireland to life in America, the journey was hard. But, family, friends and hard work paid off. I really enjoyed reading all 4 books.

Many a tear for this book
A wonderful story about a race of a lifetime most of us can not relate to. Family is the most important.
