The Shiloh movie

Question:
I love your book Shiloh I thought it was very sad but nice at the same time.I also recently watched the movie.And I can say that I like the book way more than the movie.The movie was just lacking so much detail like instead of Judd killing a doe like in the book in the movie Judd accidentally trapped a rabbit and in the book the Preston’s had fried rabbit for Sunday supper.But I do have a few questions.How do you feel about the movie?Did the characters look like how you thought?Any way those were my questions about the book and movie.From You fan Matthew.

Phyllis replied:

That’s an interesting question–why were the Prestons eating fried rabbit if rabbits were out of season?   I was disappointed too that the producers had Judd trapping rabbits instead of the crime of killing a doe–it would have been more effective, I think.  But I thought that the characters were well portrayed.
