THE SELLER WAS VERY PROMPT , VERY PLEASED WITH THE SELLER, BUT THOUGHT THE BOOK

WAS HARD TO READ ,TOO MUCH SCOTLAND BROGUE, BOOK ONLY FAIR WOULD NEVER REREAD IT

I picked up this book yesterday evening and I couldn't put it down. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen to Maggie and Ian. Now I have to go find the next books in the series! I also enjoyed the thread of faith in God that the authors wove throughout the book. It was a great read!

The Heather Hills of Stonewycke is a wonderful book. The characters are so realistic and you feel as though you're right there with Maggie, Ian, Digory, Atlanta, and James. It was a beautifully written novel and everyone should read. The only bad part was when I finished all six of the books!

If you read this, you MUST finish the trilogy. Maggie and Ian are fascinating characters caught up in a mixture of love, legal problems and family struggles.

I found this book by accident in a bookstore, and am glad I bought it. It is an excellent story. The setting is well-described, the writing style is eloquent, and the characters are presented with depth and emotion.

The only slight problem with this book is that it does hold a very obvious Christian bias. I was not aware that this book fell into the genre of "Christian fiction" when I bought it. Although the plot is great and the story is very entertaining, it is obvious to me that the authors intend to bring a stong faith element to the story. I wish the authors had broken out of their Christian bias long enough to simply tell a good story.

However, in spite of the Christian bias to the story, I will still complete all six books in this series. This is a great tribute to the authors, because in spite of the fact that they have introduced a bias that I personally do not agree with, the story is still worth reading to the end.
