I started this series nearly 5 years ago-read the first three and then was never able to find the next 3. I forgot all about it. Thanks to a challenge I was doing I discovered this one my shelf.
This is the saga of the Bonner Family, living on a mountain near the village of Paradise, in up state New York. The story, in book 1, begins in 1792. In Book 4 we are in the year 1812 and war has returned. The children are all grown and scattering and a cousin from Scotland arrives unexpectedly. I was afraid that I would be lost, as it took so long for me to return to this series. Surprisingly. I was able to recall quite a bit from the previous books. I suppose that is, in part, due to Donati's wonderful writing. She pulled me right back into the lives of all these wonderful characters.
Looks like Michigan is headed for total lock-down again and I am looking forward to escaping into the Bonner family's world with books 5 and 6.
Highly recommend the series to anyone who loves HF and great family saga.
