Destiny's Consent The Gypsy's Song

"Destiny's Consent" is a series of historical fiction, spanning 1913-1970, in which a woman of Rom, Angelica Grastende, relates the grand adventure that has been her life. In Book I, "The Gypsies Song", Angelica 's idyllic childhood among her Rom 'klan' is abruptly shattered by a grisly tragedy. Alienated her from her gypsy roots, she is thrust upon a life-long odyssey into 1920's America, where she and her family join a small traveling circus. "The Gypsy's Song" is a historical novel, a rite of passage, but with exotic adventures to make it a fun and exciting read. "Laura Shepard Townsend makes history come alive during a fascinating era. Her characters stole my heart. Once begun, I could not put the books down." Stella Page "Laura Shepard Townsend's style is reminiscent of Robertson Davies' in 'The Deptford Trilogy'. She has created a splendid and empowering female adventure punctuated with wisdom. I did not want the books to end." Rocky Graham
