I have just discovered Anita's books and I would love this because I think she has a beautiful way of expressing herself. All my friends rave about her.

I love Anita's books, everyone is so well written and reaches me and inspires me. I was lucky to get a hold of the books in this series to read. I loved the setting and the characters. for my husband and mine anniversary this year I would love to go to Anaconda and stay in the Bed and Breakfast.

I loved this book. I enjoyed the little things I was able to learn about Charles Dickens and the way these two strangers were able to overcome their troubles and come together.

Here is what I said about the post "Champion of the People"
"It's so great that he not only wrote about these things, but acted on them. I can see why the people would want to pay their last respects. Thanks for sharing this."

My comment to "Champion of the People"
As I am discovering you Anita...I feel I am growing in a friendship of meeting a new person that you find has a heart much like your own. Thank you for your insights on Dickens. I look forward to reading more. With the heart of a writer, I hope I have the courage some day to do something about it. But regardless of whether I do or not...I hope I will always live with the love I have for people and continue to strive to reach them. You do that powerfully in your writing...and everyone I talk to expresses how deeply your words (and your conviction) touch them. Thank you!

I have not read this series yet, but I have been wanting to because I think it is a really cool idea to bring things from Dickens' books into hers!

This was the first Anita book I read. I fell in love with Anita's style of writing and loved the Dickens theme. Loved the romance and a place to imagine I could go to.
I have read this series three times and have since read all of Anita's books.
Thanks for the fabulous series!

I wrote on Champion of the people and said :
I want to be known in this life and after I leave, that I truly 100% cared about people and strived to help them feel LOVED. Everybody needs a friend. Everybody needs to feel loved.
Dickens sounds like a great great man and I am anxious to learn more about him (because sadly, I don't know too much).
Anita, I seriously just love you for all the GOOD that you have done for me, and so many others. I have a testimony (really!) that your work is divine and that you are lead by angels. Your work has helped me understand that Atonement a little better and and the healing process. You make a difference!!

#1: I have read this book, and enjoyed it very much! I love how the book pulls you into the story so easily. It makes me want to go somewhere like this bed and breakfast and just get lost in a good book. :)
