The Black Sheep illustrated by Georgette Heyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is one of my favorite Georgette Heyer Regency’s. So many tropes, ie fortune hunter, young heiress, spinster aunts, and played out in Bath society. But the plot is unique and the portrayal of the “pull” of a unique love toward another person outstanding! Love will have its way!
For example: “Just as I am without one plea but that thy blood was shed for me” is the theme of my book Meant for Me:
“Will steal your heart…Romance of epic proportions, absorbing and satisfying-a rich journey with meticulous historical detail and vivid characters—“
When a handsome stranger about to leave for World War I proposes elopement, Chloe, the perfect Southern lady, runs away to 1917 New York City. And she becomes the independent woman she never thought possible. But then the unexpected happens…
The Carlyle Women-four generations,
each facing the challenges of her time
and each harboring her own painful secret~

My husband and I were listening to Our Daily Bread’s June 19th devotional this morning and they mentioned a woman I’d never heard of Phillis Wheatley. I looked her up on Britiannica and here’s her facts:
“Born c.?1753
West Africa
Died December 5, 1784 (aged 31)
Boston, Massachusetts
Occupation Poet
Language English
Period American Revolution
Notable works Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773)
Spouse John Peters
Children Uncertain. Up to three with none surviving past early childhood.”
Lyn here~Evidently Phyllis was only 7 years old when she was kidnapped in Africa and sold to the Wheatley family in Boston who who taught her how to read and write and encouraged her to write poetry. YOU KNOW FACT IS ALWAYS MORE AMAMZING THAN FICTION! That’s why I liked to write my historical novels with authentic history.

Our question for March is a bit more persona than last month’s about reading historical fictionl. What historic events have you lived through? What were the ones you most remember and why? Most of us have lived through many. The earliest one I recall is the Cuban Missile Crisis under JFK. (Yes, I was just in kindergarten at the time!:-) Please click here to share.

My fun this week–visiting the ice castle in northern WI (Built from blocks of ice harvested by the firemen and volunteers.) AMAZING!
