PRAISE FOR BETH WISEMAN

 

“Beth Wiseman writes with a masterful hand that reaches the recesses of the soul. Her capability for understanding the human condition exceeds traditional empathy and moves the reader to both introspection and exhilaration. Characters connect, transform, and redeem, making for a must ‘one sit’ read. Wiseman’s comprehension of grace and redemption plays out in the subtle confines of the everyday and teaches the reality that new life is possible for all.

— Kelly Long, best-selling author of
Sarah’s Garden

 


Wiseman’s voice is consistently compassionate and her words flow smoothly.”
