“Susie Finkbeiner never fails to transport her readers through time and space, welcoming us into worlds we never want to leave. She is a master at drawing characters we begin to love and keeping us turning the pages as we share their emotional journeys with them.”
“When you open a Pearl Spence novel, don’t expect to simply read it. Expect to live the tale. Through the eyes and voice of the incomparable Pearl, we experience three distinct chapters of the American story. In each one, author Susie Finkbeiner evokes a mood, an ambience, a tide of emotions just below the surface of the printed page. Every novel as poignant and compelling as the last, these rich stories are gifts to be savored time and again.”
“Pearl Spence is a winsome and compelling protagonist in a series that brings the era of the Dust Bowl and the Depression into full-color life. The books are gritty and haunting as Finkbeiner courageously and vividly portrays the struggle of one family to find hope in the midst of devastation. When you find yourself wanting to pray for a fictional character, you know the author has done her job well.”
