Hey Mrs. M. Just want to make sure but isn’t slavery still going on in the Andi books. I looked it up and slavery was banned in California between 1849 and 1861. But slavery was still going on in other states. Right?
LikeLike
No, not during the Andi books (they take place between 1874-1890). Slavery was demolished via the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Lincoln in January of 1863. When the North won the Civil War, then for sure no slavery (War ended April 1865). The only books that would still be during the Slavery time period is the Goldtown Books. But since California joined the Union as a free state, slavery was banned in California even earlier than the Proclamation.

It’s in the Milestone book, the day before Riley and Andi get married. Actually, I think it’s in a post on your website. I’ve read it. Andi finds these letters that were written by her family when she was a little girl that were meant to be read by her the day before she gets married.
LikeLike
I think not. The only letter Andi receives in the BOOKS is from Aunt Rebecca on her wedding day. If you can send me the page number, then I will repent. LOL
It is NOT in a post either. The only thing you might be referring to is the wonderful story by Anna Parks. She has some letters in there. Would this be what you are talking about?

How far apart are Andi and Riley? In “The Last Ride” when Andi’s 15, Riley says that he’s well into his 19th year. Above though, they’re 2-3 years apart.
LikeLike
Into his 19th year means you are 18. Like a baby in his first year is not one year old yet. It’s a little confusing but Riley is about 2 and 1/2 years older than Andi. His birthday is in January.
And is almost 16 in the Last Ride. May birthday and the book opens in March, I think.
