The plot of The Exiles: You steal a loaf of bread on the streets of London to feed your family and suddenly find yourself bound for a workhouse prison in Australia, halfway around the world, never to return. You must battle prisoners, guards, and poisonous animals and plants, not to mention your own inner demons, to find your way to freedom.

I wanted to thank you so much for writing A Piece of the World. Did you realize it made a wonderfully visual audiobook? It felt like I was watching a Masterpiece Theatre show in my mind! I was so intrigued not knowing which parts were factual and fiction, that now it has led me to find out more about the Wyeths and Olsons as well. I will definitely want to read all your other books as soon as I can.

I am a huge Andrew Wyeth fan and just finished A Piece of the World, and was sad to see it end ~~ I have not enjoyed a book so much in years! Please please write another on Wyeth's further career in Chadd's Ford, and about Helga from his Helga series. Will you write a novel about Helga? Your writing is descriptive and quite educational without being to wordy or sappy, I hope you don't change your style.
