You can read about all of my books on my newly redesigned website, www.annhgabhart.com. <br /><br />I love the way you think about gifting the book to a friend if you win. I tell my reading friends who have already read the story to come on over and leave a comment to get in on the drawing.

I ordered it (Kindle - Amazon) and it is now waiting for me to read it. I have read many stories built around the Quakers and Amish, but never one about the Shakers. I also love the post Civil war era so that makes her book even more exciting to me. I can see that I will fast become an Ann H Gabhart fan! Your Heart"wings" sister, Joyce Graves. joyce1510{dot}jrg{at}gmail{dot}com If I do get lucky in the draw, I will gift the book to a friend and bring another fan into Ann's world. jAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-90238957155909676082015-09-09T11:35:03.125-04:002015-09-09T11:35:03.125-04:00This one isn't Amish, DANA, but there are some...This one isn't Amish, DANA, but there are some similarities between them and the Shakers - who I think you'll find just as fascinating!

And of course, there were those couples who left in the night to start a new life away from the Shakers. <br /><br />It would be fun visiting with you for a while, Maxie. I know you could tell some mighty fine stories of your life.

I have the rest of her shaker books and sure hoping to win this one to finish it. Can't imagine that many women and guys and no hanky-panky going on at some time.
