 Teacup Courtship Novella

Instead of mistaken identity, what if you mistook a home for a business when you see exactly what you are looking for, including the proprietor, all-in-one? That happened for Theodore Reynolds.

And... I get to meet the Christy cousins! But back to Theo's adventure. He is on the right street following directions he was given, there are teacups of all assortments for a perfect gift for his mother... and his favored English tea, then, as he's been told. All is not as it seems to appear.

Can you imagine going so far away? Lilly is a brave young woman setting off on a journey farther north than even her lumberjack cousins. On her venture to buy warm clothes, she is helped with the stuck door at the mercantile by a gentleman coming to pick up medicine. Theo enters her life.

This is such a fun story as you become acquainted with them as they interact with each other. Especially when her cousin Garrett Christy comes to take teacups and saucers back to his wife's tea shop at Mackinac Island. His little goading has an effectual beginning of awareness.

I look forward to further stories of Lilly's family.

      Thanks, Tina!

      Kathleen, I just found a wonderful kid's book by Alison DeCamp who is also a Yooper by birth. It's about a boy in a lumber camp turn of the century!

    Stan's "near-death" adventures begin when he travels to his uncle's logging camp where his mother and grandmother will cook for "real lumberjacks."

    That does sound like my husband's Michigan DeGrand camp nestled in the woods. :D Thanks for the chuckle. Kathleen
