Royal Town Rambles Blows Author Over With Surprise Photo

I was beyond delighted to see this review of Silk: Caroline's Story on Royal Town Rambles, a blog centered on Kingstree's history. Linda did some digging and discovered a photograph of my own family tree's real-life Caroline, who was the inspiration for my very fictional character in my very fictional story. I didn't even know such a photo existed, and I'm thrilled beyond measure. I'd only had a description of her by writer Bessie Swann Britton as blond and pretty, but it seems she was more of a brunette, actually, like me!
