I...I Love these posts on writing historical novels. I am currently involved in writing and researching the story of my grandmother and her siblings who were homechildren in the early 1920's. So my research is hampered in a number of ways -I am a Canadian descendent living in the States and the story originates in England and ends in Canada - where I no longer live. And ALL of the major characters that are my inspiration have passed on. Typical of most home children little was spoken of their "dark" past and only in the past decade or so have we become so aware of their pain and heroism. My grandmother's story has an unusual twist in that her mother was able to track them all down and gathered them back into a family unit and they remained in Canada after she found them all. <br />Thank you for the great posts. My daughters God Mother Kathy Clark suggested your site to me. <br />Blessings<br />Christiourbakersdozenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359336168805686891noreply@blogger.com
