This book was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. It was very unpredictable. Now, where can I find sequel 3?

Right away I was skeptical about the book, thinking I would see differences between the sequel and the original, but I was completely wrong! The whole story line had flowed so well from the first book to the second that my grandma didn't even notice there were two different authors. The book gave me so many different emotions and I loved every bit of it!! From happiness and laughter to anger and sadness, I took in everything I could from this book and I feel that it has made me a better person. I encourage anyone who sees this book to buy it right away, along with the first one because the story line and characters will touch you in such a way I cannot describe. When I finished reading it I ran to the computer right away to see if there was another sequel, but to my despair I have not found one. Where is #3 Laurie????

What a refreshing continuation of the Women of Catawba. Laurie did a wonderful job of following the style and personalities of the characters in this sequel to the book her Mom wrote. We were pulled into another era with ease and felt the dedication to God these women had as they faced their own challenges in life. I agree, where is book III, Laurie?

This is the most informative book that I have read regarding the Catawba Indians. My great grandmother was cherokee/catawba and lived on Indian Land in Fort Mill/Lancaster SC.

I have been trying to purchase this book even though it is "out of print". I keep hoping there will be a reprint, AND for those who have Indian heritage, this is a very good book for you to read. Very, very in-depth of Native American sufferings. "The Trail of Tears" and "The Catawba Indians: People of the River" are great books regarding our Native American Heritage.

I found the Kimbrells/Kimballs in it and my Kimbrell heritage is in the book. 5th great uncles were the first white men to speak Souian, Iriquorian, Saponi Indian languages for the early Virginia Colony. I am lucky to have read this book, which inspired me to seek out the Kimbrell Geneology.

I had no idea who The People of the River were, until I read the first page of Mrs. Summers book, she clarified and expanded my knowledge of these great people immensely. A cousin had informed me of my Catawba Roots, and I was desperately searching for some clue, and Mrs. Summers guided me throughout the book, in a historical and personal journey into the trials and tribulations of Indian life in the Carolina's. Her statements of facts, and her historical knowledge of the area and people of this great nation is unmatched. It is my hope that I one day find a copy of this great book, to mark the start of my own personal journey.

This book was excellent! I loved every bit of it and didn't want to put it down from page 1. The struggles of all the women of catawba were so interesting and wonderful to read. Right after finishing it, I picked up the sequel so I could keep reading into the Marston's life. If you see this book, please buy it and the sequel because they are worth every penny!!

When Taylor Craven is forced to leave England for the "New World", everything seems to go wrong. She's even forced to marry a man she doesn't love, but even then God is with her. It is an awesome story about love, faith, and acceptance.

I bought the book because it has one of the best sections on fire pit firing of homemade pottery that I have seen, complete with excellent photos, as well as step by step info and historical info. The section on Quilting - The Joy Of My Life - Auntie Arie Carpenter is extensive and even has templates you can copy and use for making your own quilts. There is also a wonderful section on the country store, which as I read it seemed to be a combination of pay with cash or goods, like eggs, crops etc. Very worth the expense and a book I will treasure.

The entire Fox Fire colledtion should be required reading for all people of this country. You would get a feel for where we came from and our heritage. The books show a deep respect for each other, God and country. Very good.

Lorena Eaker has outdone herself this time. This book provides an incredible gold mine of information about German settlers in early North Carolina and is well researched. Documentation of research is much more reliable than average books of this genre. I eagerly await the upcoming supplement.

This is one of the best books on the history of Roanoke, VA and the surrounding areas. The author focuses on the families of the area and includes old photos of houses and people. Great for genealogy researchers!
