Title: Multiple authors?
Review: This story started out fine but transitioned into what seemed to be a second author somewhere in the middle. There were also several implausible scenarios - a doting grandmother turning the only child of her only child over to someone she barely knew instead of keeping him herself despite having the space and means to do so and an extremely sprightly 70+ store owner moving in and out of retirement (did folks live that long in the late 1700s?) as two examples. In addition, there were numerous typos/errors. The book did contain ample detail on various aspects of daily life during that time period - gardening, preserving food, etc. - but most of the dialog and underlying assumptions in the story seemed current. I got this book during a free day. If I had paid the current $14.69 price, I'd be really unhappy.
