Britain Holds New Hope

"Kentucky people were very rugged. Since Papa had died things had gotten very hard. Mama still tried to stay cheery and worked even harder now. Would they be able to make it alone?

Now waiting at a tea room beside the docks in New York, Eliza May was grown and had married her dear Jacob. Mama and her sat sipping their hot tea while Jacob and Robbie oversaw the loading of their belongings onto the ship they were to take to England. She looked forward to this new life they were beginning. Raising horses and sheep in England sounded very exciting!

Ann anxiously awaited to see their queen. Her mother stood happily beside her glad to be able to share in this rare occasion.
