Reviews
On Jul 20 2021, a reader said:
Frances Ogilvie is my first cousin once removed. I enjoyed reading this book. I was invested in the characters' lives and found the Kentucky tobacco wars the were caught up in very interesting. It was nice to see the characters using some of the same arcane sayings and words that my mother regularly did.
