The final book of "Jim’s Journey Homeward," a trilogy written by Mark Time, covers Tom, Huck and Johnny as young men during the time leading up to and into the Civil War.  Becky plays a minor role as she goes South with her family and their slaves at the outbreak.  But her influence is felt throughout because she has learned that she can never marry Tom for reasons Aunt Polly will only hint at to Jim, leaving Tom more desirous than ever of gaining glory on the battlefield no matter what the cost to himself, his friends and his family.

Subject: Adaptation article on Becky Thatcher

I'm a bit of a reader on this list rather than a poster. But I want to thank the list members for their input on my recent publication of the article below. The journal wants me to share the link, too!
