The phrase to WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE means you are displaying your emotions to everyone.heart on sleeve

This phrase could have derived from the custom at middle ages jousting matches. Knights are said to have worn the colours of the lady they were supporting, in cloths or ribbons tied to their arms. However, it was found before that period. It is first recorded in Shakespeare’s Othello, 1604. In the play, the treacherous Iago’s plan was to feign openness and vulnerability in order to appear faithful.

This is the first book I have read that puts a personal touch to some seemingly real people in factual events.

Love books with strong women…this has one. Love early American history about ordinary people…even though they were not ‘ordinary’…it took courage to populate our country. This book is well researched and well written.

A picture of love and history rolled into one. A step back in time that pulls you in and makes you a part of the family and their world.

Each book’s writing gets stronger, characters become real, the struggles and sorrows that laid the foundation for this country.
