Adrienne Morris is author of the deeply moving epic novel The House on Tenafly Road (Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choice).
“I love classic literary and historical fiction like Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, Laila Ibrahim's Yellow Crocus and Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants and aim to give readers sweeping historical tales filled with characters to love, hate and sympathize with.”
Adrienne lives on a small farm with her mini horse and sheep.

Love the quote. Sort of a military version of the concept of “noblesse oblige.”
I want to believe in meritocracy. The cream rises to the top and all of that, but it’s not always the way it happens. People find so many nefarious ways to gain and keep power.

Perhaps that’s why there are so few generals.
