Roxie ROCKS! I’m flabbergasted. Your novel moved me so deeply, I feel as if I’ve been on a retreat. Lovely, moving, true-to-life. It is such a good book. Teresa Crumpton

I enjoyed Roxie Applesauce more than anything I've edited in a while. Just dawned on me, I'd begun to think of them as real people. No greater compliment for a writer. Sarah Caldwell

Summary of Reader Reviews

Roxie Applesauce came to life for me, and I felt like I was in the middle of the story. * It has sweet romance, drama, and suspense. I cried twice from sheer joy and admiration for the characters’ resolution. * My heart breaks and smiles as I walk through life with these wonderful people. * It is a story of how God picks up the pieces in our lives and sews them into a beautiful tapestry. * I love the many characters whose lives interconnect and their stories develop with such ‘ah-ha’ moments. Wonderful ending!
