A Rediscovery ... and a Sequel 50 Years Later!

Mrs. Mike
by Benedict Freedman and Nancy Freedman
"I read this when I was a teen, and it remains as sweet today as it was then. It's a true story of a 16-year-old girl who marries a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman. Luckily for them, they love each other deeply, because it sustains them through a harsh, difficult life in the Great North." -- Kimberly Hughes, Village Bookstore, Menomonee Falls, WI

The Search for Joyful
by Benedict Freedman and Nancy Freedman
"What a pleasant surprise to find that a sequel was being published to my favorite girlhood novel, Mrs. Mike, which I first read over 40 years ago as a young adolescent! This is a totally engrossing account of the life of the daughter of the Indian maiden Oh-Be-Joyful, her becoming a Canadian nurse during WWII, and her subsequent adventures. A perfect love and adventure story!" -- Marilyn Sieb, Books & Company, Oconomowoc, WI
