      OKAY, so now you just MADE my day, DEANNA!!! Wow, I bet God made you type that!!! TY and this story is very different from Tom's and Jo's story. The third book, Lilacs for the Lumber Camp, returns to a spunky heroine. Rebecca Jane could have been spunky if she'd not been almost murdered. So this has a dark past, it is not in the book as far as back story per se. But God can help us overcome!!!
