Diana is a master of conveying through words such emotion and love. But I noticed that two fathers were left out. Frank and Lord John. Although not their children's biological fathers, they loved them beyond measure. And that is seen in the brilliant way Diana has Frank write a letter to Bree (Dead-eye, as he called her) explaining his love for her and what she may eventually find out about her real father. <br /><br />We know Lord John loves William with all his heart, not just because he is Jamie's but because he truly is a loving father. Lord John has become an astute father, as well, when he question's "what's Willie and Dorothea up to" with William's marriage proposal to his cousin. Very clever father indeed.<br /><br />Although I was hoping we would see William become a father in Bees, I can only hope if it does become a plot line that Jamie is alive to see it as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-30346550456838846552022-06-20T10:03:18.359-04:002022-06-20T10:03:18.359-04:00How one person can take a conglomeration of ordina...How one person can take a conglomeration of ordinary English words and deliver such a thoughtful, meaningful and gut wrenching expression of emotions is truly magical.

I am fairly new to reading Diana's books and only started watching Outlander last year but have very quickly come to appreciate and admire the way her words can reflect so much.

Outlander, to me, is a story of love--all kinds of love--from beginning to end. That's why her fans read and re-read her books over and over again and watch the television series over and over again, because that love touches them in every scene. Thank you, Diana.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267670058744792387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-30410426792321171222022-06-19T19:27:14.857-04:002022-06-19T19:27:14.857-04:00I lost both of my parents over the last 18 months....I lost both of my parents over the last 18 months.
