Loved the tie-in with the other characters in this book, plus it's coming back around in the new book!

This novella had intrigue and humor, and as expected by Diana Gabaldon and appreciated by me, contains history. Well-researched.
The television series has made me forget if I ever liked the character of Roger as described in the books, so I wasn't sure I cared about Roger's parents' backstory. But I did!
This quick read/listen contains realistic and humorous depictions of marriage. I laughed during one of the intimate scenes which is my favorite portrayal of intimacy. That the couple is comfortable and laughing--growing closer physically and emotionally. And if I laugh too so much the better.
The information about the war and planes made me think in a new way--that the planes then flew low, so even though they were fighting above civilians, the action was very much near and visible.
More moments with Frank Randall! Yes, please!
The ending is abrupt! Still I cried. (I was glad some of the physicality was confusing to follow near the end because the condition of the injuries sounded bad.)
I listened twice in a row.
Recorded Book narrator is a favorite now. Look for more books narrated by Robert Ian Mackenzie.

What a cute little novella. I breezed through this and totally forgot to mention that on GR.. and then I also totally forgot to write the review. OOPS!
A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows is about what really happened to Roger's father, Jerry MacKenzie. I rather enjoyed this book because it was a realistic novella .. less than 100 pages! I don't know how Diana did it but I'm so proud of her. It must've been hard to write a tiny book but I thank my lucky stars that she did. I also really enjoyed this book because we don't know a lot about Jerry, which is why this novella is so important! The back story was amazing! I had so many questions diving into this book and I was so happy that I FINALLY got answers!
No I wont spoil anything from this book because it's like 50+ pages.. you can surely read this if you really want to know what happened. Overall, I highly enjoyed it and now I'm super pumped to dive into the next book. I seriously can't wait to finish this series!

Still trying to figure out the years each person left from and went to. More development needed.
