... Tory Widow by Christine Blevins, my March ER book. I'm really looking forward to it because I loved her first book Midwife of the Blue Ridge . Midwife is a misleading title for a great book, by the way. Ms. Blevins didn't choose that title, her publisher did.
Major excitement here! I'm getting The Tory Widow by Christine Blevins. I absolutely loved her first book, Midwife of the Blue Ridge and am very excited to be getting a copy of her second book.
Thank you, ER!!!!!

I loved Midwife of the Blue Ridge . I noticed the title because I live in North Carolina and had recently revisited the Blue Ridge, but the title doesn't do justice to the scope of the book. I found it to be entertaining, informative, and hard to put down.
