Author Description

How did we get here? Those who came before, what was important to them? Novelist JD Rule follows the steps of his grandparents - those bearing names like Rule, Dukes, Willett, and Ventris. Some have traveled far from home, others have remained where their roots are deep. Using source material from family archives - including many never-before-seen photographs - and public records, the path of each family group is traced back, sometimes to the 1600's.
