I am totally in love with this series. I love the fact that there is so much goodness in an individual. So much ambition, dedication and honesty. The passion to continue fighting against all odds draws me even nearer to Freckles. I read this book about Freckles, an orphan boy, after reading A Girl of the Limberlost. I sought it out because I love how Stratton-Porter was a woman before her time. She has a gift of writing things of the heart. I loved Freckles and found myself rooting for him throughout the book. I have no expectations of realism here and loved it partly because of the goodness of his heart as well as the wonderful "Swamp Angel". Don't miss out.
