Revell (August 1, 2010) The photographs are wonderfully set up and respectful of the Amish feelings of discomfort at having their faces photographed. Many of the scenes are landscapes but the Amish settlements still maintain a quaint picturesque quality that is rare in our increasingly automated world. These gorgeous settings also carry a peace that [...]

David C. Cook (September 1, 2009) Garrett pulled me in with her first installment of Chronicles of the Scribe which allows readers a deeper glimpse into the story of Anne Boleyn than history dares to reveal.

Castle Quay Books (August 8, 2007) My first taste of a new author can be a wonderful experience or it can leave an unpleasant after effect. One Smooth Stone while not my usual reading fare was one of those experiences that left me wanting more because it moved so quickly that it seemed to be [...]
