Moments later.........


This is one of my favourite portraits from Steve Mallett's fabulous photo gallery of "Martha Morgan" images -- featuring Rhiannon James in the role of the heroic heroine.

This is a reminder of one of the most difficult passages in the saga -- because moments later Martha enters the kitchen with the basket of logs, trips over and loses her baby.  No man can ever hope to portray a miscarriage and its aftermath in print -- and it was probably presumptuous and foolhardy to think that I could do it with due respect and sensitivity.  But that is how the story came to me, and I had to try.........
