REVIEWS
"Impressive historical fiction that gives details to the conflict in Minnesota through the voices of two coming-of-age girls. Should be on the must-read selections for history classes in Minnesota!"
~ Reader Review for Under the Daytime Moon
I enjoyed Under the Daytime Moon. It is rich with MN history and powerful lessons. The main characters are full of depth, and the style is fluid. I anticipate people anywhere will enjoy it. Even as an adult, I found myself escaping into the tale despite the perils that unfurl.
