STONE FIELD Receives its First Professional Trade Review!
Some of my favorite bits from School Library Journal: "Passionate and heartbreaking." "For readers who enjoy their historical fiction dark and sorrowful." "Passion—romantic, hateful, and religious—and its effects are at the soul of this story." "VERDICT A first purchase for libraries wanting mature and sizzling YA historical fiction."
Yay!! :)
Yay!! :)
