And so we see this story continues it is a wonderful story, Hannah goes through so much in her life, as a very strong willed woman. I just loved everything about this story hopefully will be more of Hannah to come.

Hannah’s Inheritance
Another terrific book by Jean Mead. Thoroughly enjoyed the ups & down, the twists and turns of the story. The plight of Hannah was fascinating, the way women were treated and regarded in those years was horrendous. The book is definitely worth reading. Hats off to Jean Mead for a great book.
