Book Review
Listen for the Lark
I have read it from cover to cover. Congratulations! You have done it! I was impressed with what a strong person Penelope was, and she really didn’t realize it. She seemed to do just what she had to at the time. I was reminded that life for many is a day to day, if not hour to hour fight for survival. The cover is strong and soft and warm all at the same time. You have done a good job and should be very proud.
Symphony of Spirits
I loved your book and can’t wait for the next one.
