The author has done her research, and she makes early Virginia real. This is a sequel to "Through A Glass Darkly," but the book can stand alone as an absorbing story. There are layers of thought-provoking human questions that make you feel you know the people portrayed as they cope with sophisticated, modern problems in the early days before the American Revolution. The book is not preachy, and it's not a boring recitation of history. It is a very well-written, entertaining story

Sequel to Through a Glass Darkly. Continues the life of Barbara in Colonial America. Not as good as the first but still an enjoyable book.

I enjoyed the first one (Through A Glass Darkly) more, but "Now Face To Face" was still very, very good.
