Every Friday for the last 25 years of her life, I had lunch with Charlotte and each week she told me more of her extraordinary story. To all appearances, she was a strong and dignified survivor, with old-world courtesies, a twinkling sense of humor, and a lilting Austrian syntax. Yet deep within, she’d been scarred by a profound personal trauma.
Finally, just before she died at the age of 91, she chose to entrust me with this profound secret, and all at once I understood how it had affected her entire adult life. This is a story of friendship and strength, of courage and betrayal. It is an epic tale set against the backdrop of history.

MARYD’S REVIEW
When a story comes along that is so well written, so interesting and so captivating you can’t put down. This is one of those stories. I first read this story when it was posted online in April 2002 and I’m thrilled it’s made it back (It was previously published by PD Publishing). It’s now available in ebook (Kindle).
Written by the incredibly talented T. Novan and Taylor Rickard. I would read anything TN has written (and I have).
WHIS is set during the American Civil War – two characters, Charlie Redmond, a dashing, debonir Army colonel leading his men as they push on to victory against the South.
Rebecca Gaines is a Southern lady who is alone and quite suspicious of the Northern Army camped outside her house. Charlie hides a secret that would destroy his life if it became known – he is a woman. Rebecca is the woman that claims Charlie’s heart in a moving story on par with Gone With the Wind.
Find out about Lucky Charlie and Miss Rebecca. Awesome story
Story Rating: 5/5
Cover Rating: 3/5 (Needs a better cover – doesn’t reflect the great story it is)

BOOK REVIEW
Wow. Bucket Full of Stars is one of my favourite novels. Set in 1956 Tasmania, Australia, it brings to life the real hardships of the time. Living on an island with the toughest penal colony in Australia and a handful of free settlers is a tough place to be. That’s where we find Sheri and Molly plus some amazing, memorable characters. From the first page to the last page, it will keep you turning the pages. The characters are three dimensional and so very real. You will become emotionally invested in all of them. One of the things I loved about the story is that you feel that you know these characters so well and yet Penny has managed to spring a few surprises along the way. I LOVED that.
This is Penny’s first novel and it’s superb. I highly recommend it.
