This book series is about Linda Hubalek’s mother’s ancestors. The John and Deborah Pieratt family traveled from Kentucky, and the Margaret Ralston Kennedy family from Ohio, to homestead beside each other in Kansas. Their children, from the North and the South, marry during the Civil War. These books are written in letter form, covering the years 1854 to 1865.
Twelve quilt patterns are featured in each book of this series.
