Reviews
Rosemary, I must tell you how much I have enjoyed reading your "Destiny" books. I have devoured most of the series in the past week, much to the detriment of other responsibilities, but much to my own joy. I don't know quite how I stumbled on them, but I am so glad that I did. Your interweaving of intriguing and compelling stories with language, history, music and customs of our rich Croatian heritage makes for a very fine read, indeed. - Mary A. Oh, please don't stop writing about the Croatian immigrants, I can relate to every story you tell and it's wonderful. - Dianna V.
