A tale of motherly manipulation in which unanswered prayers on earth mirror the unanswered questions that remain, even in heaven

The writing shines with this authors passion for understanding the ways of the heart, and displays a real compassion for the human experience

The cast of characters encountered are, individually and collectively, certainly strong enough to carry the narrative, which consistently prompts the readers interest in wanting to know what will happen next.Judge, Writers Digest Self-Published book Awards.
