In tribute to its time and place, this first book in the series it is a historical tale inspired by first hand information, as told to me by an amazing woman, my mother-in-law, who actually lived that life. She took great delight when I shared what my characters were doing and I asked if it was feasible. Sometimes, she said yes, and sometimes she said no, but then shared something that I didn’t know existed. It gives me great pleasure that I was able to record her early way of life before she passed away. And so, began the Toth dynasty. This story is presented in three parts.
