What are people saying about her books?
"Sojourn is a deeply emotional story which is stark at times but is ultimately filled with hope. This book is just part of the journey, but one that will grab readers and keep them on the edge of their seats." -- ROMANCE NOVEL NEWS
"This series is off the chain. OFF. THE. CHAIN...
