I SO enjoyed reading your book.  I also learned so much about the Civil War in Texas!  I will not go to Galveston again without remembering.  My daughter and I just returned from a trip to Dallas .  On our return trip to Kerrville, we stopped in West at the Czech Bakery in  honor of the characters in the book.  As we were eating the kolache, I told Grace about how scarce flour was back then and what a treat this would have been for them.  The ending was done very well.  I also thought, as I passed the roling hills going 70 mph, how long it would have taken by wagon to get back to Kerrville!  Thank you again for a wonderful read and history lesson.
