Feathered Quill
Started in 2008 by a small group of dedicated, enthusiastic reviewers, Feathered Quill has become one of the preeminent online review sites. My book, Destiny by Design, has just been reviewed by this well known blog. Here is a portion of the review...you will allow me the opportunity to bask in the glow. 😍
"...I applaud Mirta Ines Trupp for the depth she demonstrates in writing an historical account of the perils Jews faced in 1900 Russia immediately preceding the Russian Revolution. She touches upon the premise of the have’s and have not’s and the stark differences between both classes. There are several passages early on where she focuses on the distinct corruption a government can force on a class of people to be sure they never get ‘too successful.' It is the government that will have the final say at the end of the day. The dialogue is rich, and the character development is defined beautifully.
It is always a joy to read a story that is blanketed with the history that surrounds the premise. It is a winning formula that immediately captures the desire of the reader to continue to turn the pages. Beautiful job Ms. Trupp! I look forward to reading your next book."
Quill Says: Destiny by Design is an epic journey that portrays the strength of family in the direst of times.

A snippet from Amy's review...
"...Its interesting, because the first half of the book follows the entire Abramowitz Family. It doesn't really become "Leah's Journey" until the second half of the book. And I liked the rest of the family and their journey. So I was really enjoying all of them. One of the things I really liked about Leah, was her connection to all of the Jane Austen characters, and how much spirit and style she had. Ultimately, she became one of them - or always was to some extent. It reveals the passion of the author for Austen's writing along with the central characters. That was really fun. Following Leah, the youngest of 12 siblings in a large domineering religious family, was really fun and quite beautiful, as she did need to make her own way. I thought she was a great character, and I loved watching her journey unfold. I loved Odessa, and I loved Buenos Aires, despite the obvious political tensions and riots and pograms. It was an interesting look at a high class society, that is just as affected by these restrictions and violence and antisemitism, as all the rest of the community. The organization of the JCA was incredibly interesting to learn about, as well as the early community of relocated Argentine Jews. I also loved the shifting look at how a religious and observant family has to both keep their heritage and adapt, as their cultures and fortunes change. I thought that tension was extremely well done. It reminded me of Leah's work as a fashion designer, and how one has to adapt to the new, while preserving the old. Who better, than Leah Abramowitz, a modern day Elizabeth Bennet, and Emma, rolled into one feisty Jewish young girl, ripped from her homeland, with a wonderful but extremely strong minded family. She really emerged beautifully, and I adored how it all played out. It was very Jane Austen. Loved it, Mirta! Great Job."

New Amazon review
Destiny by Design- Leah's Journey..."Reflects my experiences when I came to Argentina as a 5 year old child escaping Nazi Germany. Life there for my parents was very difficult. We found a our new home to be so primitive. It is compelling reading; I couldn't put it down. Reading this book was reliving those early years of my life."
