Hello again--I hope you're keeping cool and aren't in flood or drought!
|
|
I'd like to explain my feelings about Book 2 in the Mountain Women Series, Cold Comfort.
|
|
Many readers were at first disappointed by this story, wanting Book 2 to continue the story of May Rose.
|
|
I wrote this one because Wanda needed a story of her own.
|
|
It turned out to be one of the foundations of the series.
|
|
Wanda and May Rose are as different as two women could be, yet they're bonded for life, and they're stronger together.
|
|
But in Cold Comfort, Wanda doesn't have May Rose: she's in a tug of war with her granny.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lucie Bosell, famous for her moonshine recipe.
|
|
|
|
Wanda is the most complicated woman in the series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the start of the story, Wanda is running away from her own troubled mind. Since the death of her husband, she's been subject to fits of rage.
|
|
In that mood, she ventures back to her mountain roots for revenge on the woman she believes ruined her mother: her granny, Lucie Bosell.
|
|
Lucie is the woman we love to hate.
|
|
Wanda is feisty and unafraid, but not all her troubles are her fault.
|
|
I'm so glad I wrote Cold Comfort. It's an important bridge to the rest of the series, introducing important characters like Wanda's Aunt Piney, the colorful and shocking Virgie, and the very bad Cotton brothers.
|
|
Most important, this story begins Wanda's stormy love affair with Will Herff.
|

|
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your ratings and reviews!
