Ellen: Clover Springs Mail Order Brides
Page 17
“No although I am sorry he is going. But he says he has to and he will be back as soon as he can.” Katie hiccupped loudly. “I just got this.” Katie held up a letter. “It arrived Friday but someone knocked it to the ground. Ella found it just before church. I only read it just now.”
Ellen spotted the handwriting. Her heart almost stopped. “What’s wrong? What did Daddy say to make you so unhappy.”
“I’m not unhappy Ellen. It’s great news. Liam was freed. The English let him out of prison. Daddy wrote to tell us he is coming home. Liam is on his way to Galway.”
Ellen squealed as she danced around hugging Katie. “Our brother Liam is alive and going home.”

About the Author
Hi, I’m Rachel. I’m Irish, living in Dublin with my three children, two boys and a girl.
I love to read. As I tell my kids, it is the easiest way to escape into a whole different world. You can go to absolutely any country, century or world you wish without leaving home. My mom used to tell me that she would regularly have to take away a flashlight when I was younger so that I would go to sleep on a school night.
My mom also used to say that if we were going on holidays, the first thing in my suitcase were my books. That was a long time before e-book readers!
I read a lot of books and absolutely love anything set in the old West. When I was a child, I loved to watch Little House on the Prairie. Nellie Oleson was my favorite character. I also admit to watching Dr. Quinn—Medicine Woman lol.
I love when readers make contact with me either via Facebook or through my website. I am flattered when they make suggestions on topics I should cover in future books. Without my readers, I wouldn’t be living my dream. Thank you.
