Lady D Reads

My Thoughts: Ok I have read Finding Freedom for my self and my thoughts are ,. first let me say I am not bashing any one and I am not Anti Meghan these are my personal views on the book.First of all even though the authors claim that they did not speak to the couple that was a lie out of the gate, they admit it in the first few pages of the book. Second of all I got the feeling that The Duchess ghost wrote the book as some details only she could have known such as what yoga pose she d id on a certain morning and personal details about the proposal and how Harry feels when he reads comments of social media. Tiaragate is also brought up in the book put puts the blame on Angela Kelly the queen's personal dresser for not arragning a "hair trial" fast enough to thier liking.. THE WHOLE BOOK is laughable The Duke and Duchess come out of the book as the most self centered miserable ungrateful couple . and the sad thing is they really believe they are victims of the world.  side ...

Summary: Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with. Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, who disappeared from the settlement years earlier. Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when circumstances force Clay's hand--and heart--the stage is set for one very private and one very public reckoning. My Thoughts: I enjoyed the story Tessa was a stong willed woman , the Author did a great job bringing to life the stories of the 18th century life of the early Virginans and the Native Americans .  The sweet romance between Clay and Tessa was my fa...

First observations. Introduction and chapter 1 The story and immediately begins telling us about the superstitions of Celeste mother. A couple new ones is that I noticed immediately within the Introduction and chapter 1 are 1) Celeste is definitely not her mother's favorite child. 2) Celeste and her brother and Noble are twins but are very different. 3) Noble seems to be her mother's favorite child yet he is not sensitive to the superstitions that plague Celeste mother. 4) the superstitious feelings visions and delusions seem to be an inherited quality from Celeste maternal family who are from Hungary 5) we are given an alternative view of the world from Celeste father who seems a very normal loving caring individual however he is not superstitious nor interested in those things. There is a very poignant seen in this first chapter that I feel gives a foreshadowing of something coming in the future. Noble is leaning against his mother's breast and she is caressin...
