Found this book and going to start reading it soon. I thought @Wolseley would be particularly interested. Have you read this one Wols? This will be going in my collection of antique books of Faith.

I have never heard of it, Michie. :)

Let me know how it is.
Will do. I did found out that Christian Reid is a pen name. It was a woman that wrote the book but I cannot recall her actual name at the moment….

What have you read of her work?
Not a great deal; about a thousand years ago, I read her short story The Pictures of Las Cruces, which is set in Mexico. Other than that, about all I know of her is that she was a devout Catholic, came from the South, and her father was killed in 1861 at the First Battle of Bull Run. Pretty sketchy, I know. :)

Well I’m pretty excited about starting it. While scanning it, I saw there was a scene in there where someone was speaking oh how awful it was to have a devotion to Mary. As we both know, back in that time Catholicism was considered horrific. It should be interesting to see where the story goes.
