t would seem that I've been put on a literary path somewhat like George Lucas did with Star Wars. "Rough Waters" is the prequel to "Reconciliation", which in turn was based upon "Notes of a Journey". As such, like "Reconciliation", it is highly recommended your read/re-read "Notes of a Journey", at least up to the point the kids are preparing to leave Grottoes, Virginia. This is to avoid any confusion with references to events that occurred prior to the start of "Rough Waters". The final party at Pru's is winding down....... SH February 2007This print version of Scott's second volume of 'Notes of a Journey' has been extensively reworked from that first seen on my website two years ago. I hope all the work has been worth it Maddy Bell, January 2020
