Hi - I'm actually a little confused by the opening of Glory Over Everything. Probably just me. :)

It is a bit misleading.
DeleteThe book goes back and forth in time.
Thanks for stopping, Diane.
I like the beginning of "Glory" - will have to have to read the first book - The Kitchen House first though. I will have to check out The Passenger too...here's my Friday meme
ReplyDeleteThe first book will help with background, but not necessary.
DeleteThanks for stopping, Maria.
Aww the BB is so sad! It breaks my heart just a little, you know? I'm thinking she must be terminally ill. I hope you enjoy the read x
ReplyDeleteNothing like that, Amy.
DeleteThanks for stopping.
