"I just finished reading the book and I loved it. The time and place I feel was well thought out. The main character's story was quite believable. I felt for Newton, the confusion of finding out where he came from and the determination of learning more. I highly recommend this book as a very enjoyable read." Lorna K.

Great book, enjoyed it and can't wait for the next book in the series!
"This book was very entertaining and I read it in two days because I didn't want to put it down. There are a few cliff hangers from one section to the next and I like that. I also love the history included about the Ozarks. I am hoping the next book in the series comes out soon!" MaryJo B.
Reviews "My Brother's Keeper"
"I love reading and though this is not the genre I usually read, it caught my imagination and kept my interest throughout. It’s message of acceptance is something our society needs to hear and this book delivers it in a special way. It is written for teens but if an adult is looking for an enjoyable easy read they will love this story. Can’t wait for her next book." Virginia B.
Interesting read with a twist of events.
"I enjoyed the reading it took me a little bit to get into it, but well worth it. Not my usual type of reading. The book is more of an older teen or young adult in my opinion. This is the reason for four stars. The author did a super job writing this book. Easy to follow, scenes described great, could almost picture myself there. Can't wait for next book in the series. Naomi W.
I had to force myself to stop!
"I started reading one Friday evening and read until I was so tired I had to go to sleep. I got up the next day and finished. Throughly enjoyed it. I loved the historical background to the story. I am aniously awaiting the next book." Becky T
