Naturally I rate this book as a 5-star, since I added it to Goodreads as the author. For more objective reviews, you can search "Maya Lord" on Amazon where there are currently several reader reviews, or look at comments by other authors at www.johncoerobbins.com. An internet-searchable newspaper review will appear in late September of 2011 in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
