Editorial Reviews

By Accident of Birth suffuses well- researched, factual incidents with fiction in a seamless manner that gives the reader historic realism during a memorable and exciting journey.

Martha H. Sullivan

From page one, I was drawn into the life of BB Quinn. Immediately, there was the vision of a montage of Scout, Scarlet O'Hara and Elizabeth Swann; a spunky, gorgeous, raven-haired, green-eyed Tom-boy who never had 'can't' in her vocabulary. You could not help but cheer her on and keep turning pages. This is a book I will purchase and give as gifts for years to come. Bravo!
