Never Look Back - Lesley Pearse

Never Look Back - Lesley Pearse ... thank you to all my readers, and to add a little more information for you. I loved writing Never Look Back, it was a book I had in my heart and mind for many years, even before I was first published. As I researched it, complete with doing the entire Oregon Trail, I was staggered by the hardships those pioneer women had to deal with. I have been accused of killing off too many characters, but in fact that was how life was for those women, a real trail of tears. I remember how when I first discovered about the slums of Five Points in New York I kept trying to tell people about it, and mostly they thought I was exaggerating. Now we have the film Gangs of New York, set in the same place, and perhaps this will convince some of my readers I did do my homework. I have a book in the pipe-line called Remember Me, which I think all the fans of NLB will enjoy. Its a story about a woman who escapes from Australia when it was a penal colony, based on a true story. I hope you will all enjoy that too, Bless all you reviewers! On a bad night when the words don't flow, I get a great deal of pleasure from reading your comments. It makes me feel close to you all.
