His father is dead, his intended is days away from marrying his cousin, his estate is essentially in ruins, and he doesn’t have much in the way of prospects. If you didn’t follow the TV series ( and I loved everything about it so you should watch it), the series is set in Cornwall, starting in 1783, when Ross Poldark comes home to Cornwall from the Revolutionary War to find his life a complete disaster.

Her teachers took a great interest in the larger events of the times, the presidents with the strange names and all the industry. Though, Joanna admits that her classes were not always as informative as she would have wanted. It sparked something inside of her, and before long she wanted to know everything there was to know about America’s history.Ĭollege answered that particular prayer. The author can trace that love all the way back to her first Schoolhouse Rock Cartoon. None of this is surprising because Joanna is such a massive fan of history. Where other authors might bombard readers with posts and even pictures of their pets and their families, not to mention one or two curious posts about their eating habits, Joanna Shupe is more interested in revealing odd photos about fashion from centuries gone by.

Still, after Brade being a big part of Starsight, I expected her and Winzik to play a larger part in book three. Peg I also found interesting, and she's one of my new favourite characters.
