DESCRIPTION:
A must read! Lynn C Meland This book captured me from beginning to end! I wish I were a better writer so that I could properly express my response to reading The Widow Nash. The characters are intelligent and real. I felt pulled back in time. The story is so creative - not your typical fluffy love story. But there is love and hate and well just read it!

Her writing is wonderful. Though the book starts a bit slowly, let her prose roll over you. Soon you will understand the character as the plot builds. Bravo! I am so glad you are back, Jamie!. Dan Kaul said Five Stars. Best page turner I've read in years!
