I forgot to tell you about the latest book that I read. Now, I wouldn't get this book, but the author is actually Pat's parents neighbor. I got the book when we were home this summer.. I thought I should read it before going home for Thanksgiving.. After all, Pat's mom Rita lent it to me.. The book was predictable, and sort of hard to read..
Anyway.. here is the description of the book..
Catherine Grafton has returned to the home of her youth, once a beautiful manor house and farm in northern England. As she gazes on the disintegrating structures, she recalls the last time she saw her home--one filled with wealth, a life of ease and a loving but strict family? In the bright fall sunshine of 1641, just before her eighteenth birthday, Catherine saddled her horse Maudie for one last adventurous fling before becoming "the proper, responsible young woman" required by her father. Mystery, danger, intrigue and love all await Catherine at the end of her ride. Her destiny is sealed from the moment she rides out of the Grafton stables and arrives at the cottage of a Puritan family in the deep woods. A fateful accident from a dangerous thunderstorm in an unfamiliar forest, amnesia, death of a soldier, the family's involvement with Puritan exiles and a trip across northern England bring Catherine closer and closer to her destiny. During the journey, she comes face-to-face with the political and religious tidewaters of the reformation and her loyalty is increased as her newly-found friends help Puritan exiles. She is challenged to meet her destiny and begins to discover what is important to her--family, faith and love.
