Crossing The Line tells the story of a strong woman who has been able (out of both choice and necessity) to cross the line in a variety of ways: race, sex, education and age. Thea Morgan, the heroine, is an intricately drawn portrait of a woman forced to deal with her past, and thus prepare…

When The Fiery Cross arrived in the mail, I knew it already had a leg up on the competition. I can’t remember another time when I have been so excited just to open a package and hold a book. I had another book to finish the day it came, so I kept giving it fond,…
I spent a year and a half staring at the four installments of this story, sitting neatly on one of my shelves.
