Williamsburg, Virginia, is once more the scene in this second book of Thane's series, but the time is now the 1860's.

The Light Heart, the fourth installment in Elswyth Thane's Williamsburg series, covers the years 1902 to 1917. The reader enjoys these stories of the Days and the Spragues families in this saga series of novels, in successive generations, as one might the Whitecaks of Jalna series.

The letter was written by a total stranger who signed herself Joanna Marshall. It looked pretty much like a hundred other fan letters, forwarded from the publishers' office. But even after Eve Endicott read it more than once and when she had answered it, she found she still could not forget it. Tad Benson, who published her books, advised her that it was none of her business how old Joanna Marshall was or why she seemed to be a prisoner in her father's...
