A new author that was recommended to me on Amazon. I fell in love with Findley McKenna! I am glad I have Wee William's story or I would feel absolutely bereft.Maggy is a very good heroine but I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to rip my hair out by the roots because she was so stubborn about no one knowing her secrets. However, when everything begins to fall apart and she reveals everything she has some real doozies. Near the end I began to understand why she was so distrustful of men, and why she was so hard about keeping herself to herself.Women are rarely treated well in these earlier centuries (this is the 12th) and so it is good to see a well-written heroine who goes against the norm. Maggy is strong for her sons -- boys she adopted when they had no one else after plague took their families. Maggy herself has a son but she treats them all as if they were born of her.It's terrifying to think that on the whim of a cruel man Maggy could so easily lose hearth, home, her dignity, and her children. An unscrupulous, cruel man would think nothing of either throwing the children away into the elements or outright killing them.To learn that there are men such as Findley and his men makes you want to breath a sigh of relief. You know that no matter what happens to Maggy Findley will make it right.There were a few funny bits in the story, and the sons you will love. I wept at one point, and without revealing any spoilers if you read, I'm sure you can figure out where.This is a book to keep. Something to re-read on those quiet nights when it is better to read a good story rather than watching something on television. I resisted reading this book for some odd reason but it was really really good! Suzan Tisdale's heroines are always in the worst situations imagineable and this was no different. I thought Findley was a great hero, just trying to win the heart of his lady love. Aishlinn is not concerned about such things with her son being captured. Loved the twists and turns and the adventure in this book. Suzan Tisdale never disappoints!
What do You think about Findley's Lass (2012)?
I love this book. Suzan is a very good writer.
