I read all three of the books in this series and really liked all of them. The characters were well defined and I felt that I knew them by the end of the first book. Some of them I loved and admired and some I hated. But there was some sympathy, even for those who weren't perfect people. I would definitely read more by this author.

This series about Amy is wonderful! The characters are well-drawn and plot is fascinating. It is hard to believe that any woman can live that life of hardship. I was drawn into the book, and I felt like I was right there and personally knew the not only the heroine, but also the rest of the characters

Very satisfying ending to a series that I ended caring deeply for. It really changed my view on a certain character that I never thought I would end up feeling sympathy for. That alone was amazing.

If I could give more stars I would. Shayne Parkinson really knows how to keep a story going. I have to say that every one of the books in this series lived up to my standard in reading. Many times I have experienced disapointment in books that are written in a series staring by really liking the first book than slightly disapointed in the second and by the last book feeling like I have been let down and the author really has lost interest in the writing of the book but not the case here what a wonderful job Shayne Parkinson did. I hope to read more from this wonderful writer. Thank you Shayne Parkinson for giving me the adventure of learning to love the good the bad and the sad characters in your novel.

I just absolutely fell in love with this series and cannot wait for the next book to come out. You are great at developing your characters and expose their personalities extensively in creative ways. I have already recommended the books to friends. I hope that you gain a large enough following to become a well known author. Ms Parkinson definitely has an amazing talent for writing.

Shayne Parkinson weaves a tale of the struggle against abuse and social labels that continues to this day. It is a tale of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds. Can't wait for the next book.

Did I say believable in my review of "Mud and Gold"? "Settling the Account" is almost too much so -- I'm ready to jerk a knot in Lizzie.
Hope to see more from the very creative pen of Ms. Parkinson!
