About the book
This is my longest book, and it carries a story line into several people’s lives. I researched an animal disease called Foot and Mouth Disease, which actually swept into England in 2001, and that’s our first glimpse of Abbie Miller, the young redhaired lady who lost her entire cattle herd to its deadly grip. I was interviewed by Diana Kay on Author’s Beat, and we discussed several issues I mentioned in this book besides FMD, and one that interested her was fetal alcohol syndrome. But lest you think this is only a serious read, let me assure you that with a Redhead and a Redneck, there are many lighthearted moments in Laughter in the Wind!
