Gladys & Jack wins the 2013 Word Guild Award for Best Historical Novel!
Friends and Family: Gladys and Jack was a true labour of love, having been in the making for close to fifteen years, if you count the research. A box of unlabled pictures, letters, and documents started this journey through records offices, archives, Internet sources, and libraries on two continents. The thrill of finding ancestors' headstones overlooking the green hills of Hyssington in Wales, or East Allington in Devon fired my desire to share the family story. Meet the Hannaford, Pope, Lyon, and Bailey families as they move from long established villages to new lives in a new country! This book keeps as true as possible to historical facts and records; it is truly genealogy in novel form.
