“Some books are meant to be read. All Manner of Things is meant to be lived in. The pages enfolded me into a raw and beautiful family journey that touched me on a soul level. This exquisitely rendered portrait of hope, courage, and love in a time of war is a triumph and a gift. Susie Finkbeiner at her finest.”
Jocelyn Green, Christy Award winning author of Between Two Shores
“Susie Finkbeiner has created characters so real in All Manner of Things, you may want to write them a letter to find out how they are doing once you’ve turned the last page of the book. You’ll cheer them on in the good times, weep with them during the hard times, and be glad you got to live their story with them. Definitely a story and characters you will remember.”
Ann H. Gabhart, bestselling author of River to Redemption
“All Manner of Things should be at the top of everyone’s reading stacks. Readers will love Finkbeiner’s graceful prose about an overlooked but important era. With intimacy, a poetic voice, and an ever-present grip on hope, Finkbeiner writes with breathtaking admiration for the common American family in the throes of unbearable circumstances. Beautiful. Honest. Artfully written. A winning novel.”
Elizabeth Byler Younts, author of The Solace of Water
