I’m an impatient sort of person and didn’t feel like waiting six months only to get a rejection letter, then three more for another one, then four more for another one after that — and since most publishers frown on simultaneous submissions, that’s exactly what I’d be doing. My self-publishing venues pay me between 65% and 75% of the sale price for each copy I sell. Papa - Jo's father, a prisoner of war ( POW), who is in a German prison for most of the story and helps Jo smuggle the children to Spain. If you want to read a period piece or just enjoy a richly developed book with a variety of themes and sub-plots, you’ll have no trouble getting into this one. It’s a long read, but for those who like to settle in for such a story, this one’s for you. There’s a list of characters, Irish words, and other juicy extras at the end of the novel. Much to my chagrin, I only did find them at the end of the story, but I think I would have found the information much more helpful at the beginning.
