Book Review - The Valley (The Valley Trilogy #1) by Helen Bryan

This book moves away from my regular cozy mystery into historical women's fiction. It's the first book I've read by this author. The Valley is the first book in a trilogy set in colonial times Virginia. The setting grabbed my attention since that is the state I grew up in and love dearly. This review does have some spoilers and the book has a large cast so take notes. Sophia Grafton is a wealthy and spoiled child with homes in London and the countryside. She is raised by her adoring father who lavishes everything on her and allows her to run wild. As she reaches the marriageable age of sixteen it becomes apparent she needs a firmer hand.

I Don't Believe in Happily Ever After, Part Six, by L. A. Keller

“I gave up on happily ever after. Maybe I'm not cut out for a relationship. Maybe, I just don't like being committed to one person for longer than two weeks.” ====================== Part Six Wyatt took his cue to leave, tossing Charlotte over his shoulder against her squeals of protest.             “I hope to see you before you leave,” he called out to Clare as the screen door slammed behind him.             Mae led Clare into the living room and pointed at the plaid reclining rocker indicating she should take a seat.   Mae walked to the mantle and picked up a black and white photo in a tarnished silver frame.             “Child, I’ve weathered many storms and so has this old place. I was born here, as were your momma and you. My great granddaddy plowed this farm behind two mules and his daddy befo...
